Abstract:Abstract-Copper is an essential micronutrient for all living cells, however, it is extremely toxic at high concentrations and thus copper homeostasis is required to be tightly regulated. copA encodes for a copper-translocating P-type ATPase (CopA) and plays a vital role in copper homeostasis and is involved in copper transport across membranes of many organisms. Little is known about copper homeostasis in Methylococcus capsulatus although copper has a significant physiological role in this methanotroph. In thi… Show more
