Abstract We developed epitope-tagged metallothionein IIA cDNA by the addition of an 8-amino acid sequence, DYKDDDDK, at the N-terminus metallothionein using polymerase chain reaction. The fusion proteins were expressed by transfection in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK-293) cells and were specifically recognized by commercially available antibody, an anti-Flag M2 monoclonal antibody. Furthermore, the fusion protein was detectable on a Western blot, whose migration was expectedly at 7000-8000 in an SDS-denatured form. Thus, availability of the epitope-tagged metallothionein will facilitate the investigation of cellular mechanisms of the protein such as its nuclear localization mechanism.

INTRODUCTION Metallothioneins, a metalloprotein of low molecular weight (6000-7000), are cysteine rich (30%) intracellular proteins with high affinity for certain metals 1-3). High levels of an endogenous metallothionein bound to zinc and copper have been detected in mammalian liver during gestation and early postnatal period in various species, suggesting a biological role for metallothionein in metal homeostasis 1-3). Metallothionein is shown to sequester large amounts of toxic metals such as cadmium intracellularly and therefore it may play a significant role in metal detoxification 1-3).
