Specific copper transfer from the Cox17 metallochaperone to both Sco1 and Cox11 in the assembly of yeast cytochrome C oxidase.

TLDR
Cox17 represents a novel copper chaperone that delivers copper to two proteins, which is specific because no transfer occurs to heterologous proteins, including bovine serum albumin and carbonic anhydrase.

Metals in Neurobiology: Probing Their Chemistry and Biology with Molecular Imaging

TL;DR: The brain is a singular organ of unique biological complexity that serves as the command center for cognitive and motor function and has requirements for the highest concentrations of metal ions in the body and the highest per-weight consumption of body oxygen.

Undetectable intracellular free copper: the requirement of a copper chaperone for superoxide dismutase.

TL;DR: Results indicate that intracellular [Cu]free is limited to less than one free copper ion per cell and suggest that a pool of free copper ions is not used in physiological activation of metalloenzymes.

Structures of metal sites of oxidized bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase at 2.8 A

TL;DR: The high resolution three-dimensional x-ray structure of the metal sites of bovine heart cytochrome c oxidase is reported, suggesting a dinuclear copper center with an unexpected structure similar to a [2Fe-2S]-type iron-sulfur center.

Metal ion chaperone function of the soluble Cu(I) receptor Atx1.

TL;DR: The unusual structure and dynamics of Atx1 suggest a copper exchange function for this protein and related domains in the Menkes and Wilson disease proteins.
