1. A metal-binding fraction with a molecular weight of about 12000 in calf and sheep liver has been characterized as a metallothionein-like protein.2. The combined concentrations of copper and zinc in the fraction (as μg/g liver) are a direct function of liver Zn concentration.3. The relative proportions of Cu and Zn in the fraction are dependent on the Cu: Zn ratio in the liver.4. These findings may be relevant to the mutual interaction between Cu and Zn.

The mixed copper- and zinc-binding proteins, with mol.wt. of approx. 12000, induced in rat liver after injection of copper were isolated and characterized as metallothioneins. Three separate forms were obtained, with 7-11% total metal in the protein, equivalent to 2.6-1.6 cysteine residues/metal atom.

1. A study has been made by gel-filtration techniques of the soluble copper- and zinc-binding proteins in livers from calves and sheep of widely differing Cu and Zn status.2. Cu and Zn generally occurred together in three main fractions, with approximate molecular weights of > 75000, 35000 and 12000, and Zn also in one other fraction with molecular weight about 65000. The distribution of the metals between these fractions was variable and dependent on both the Cu and Zn status of the animals.3. Zn was usually absent from the low-molecular-weight fraction in Zn-deficient or high-Cu livers, with Cu also being absent in the former instance.4. The fraction with molecular weight of 35000 was tentatively identified as hepatocuprein. It generally accounted for only 4% of the total hepatic Cu except in Cu-deficient livers.5. The possible relationship of these findings to the mutual antagonism between Cu and Zn is discussed.

ABSTRACT: Studies have been performed to identify the proteins present in canine seminal plasma (SP) and relate them to sperm quality as well as to discover molecular markers of reproductive tract diseases. There is evidence that heparin-binding proteins, zinc-binding proteins, and lactoferrin as well as the matrix metalloproteinase, superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase enzymes are associated with canine sperm quality. Other studies indicate that prolactin and enzymes like arginine esterase, acid phosphatase, and alkaline phosphatase could be successfully used as biomarkers of reproductive disorders. Thus, the present literature review aims to address aspects related to proteins of the canine SP, their influence on fertility, and their importance as biomarkers of reproductive disorders.

Copper Binding Proteins

Zinc- and copper-binding proteins were isolated from the plasma of winter flounder using gel filtration chromatography. A single copper-binding protein fraction of molecular weight 170 000 was isolated from the plasma of both sexes.In male and female flounder over 95% of the plasma zinc was associated with a zinc-binding protein(s) with a molecular weight of 76 000. In male flounder the remaining zinc appeared to be bound to a protein(s) of molecular weight 186 000. In female flounder the remaining 5% of the zinc was associated with two zinc-binding fractions with apparent molecular weights of 186 000 and 340 000 – 370 000.Extracts of plasma vitellogenin and egg yolk proteins revealed significant quantities of zinc and copper. It is hypothesized that the female specific zinc-binding protein (340 000 – 370 000) was vitellogenin.
