“…RT-PCRanalysis of our patient' s lymphoblasts indicated that mutant CP mRNAthat skipped exon 3 would be preferentially transcribed. Exon 3 encodes the latter half of domain 1 of the CP molecule, which includes Hisl61 and His163 indispensable for the binding of copper to its trinuclear center (19). Therefore, the mutant CP produced by this patient's hepatocytes would be structurally unstable and quickly degraded.…”

“…In some other cases, the protein does not provide any ligand residue at that position. For instance, a recently determined crystal structure of human ceruloplasmin reveals that one of the three blue copper sites in this multicopper oxidase is formed by only three equatorial ligands, two His and a Cys, while no residue has been found to contribute at its fourth, axial coordination position (Zaitseva et al, 1996). Similar to the ceruloplasmin, several fungal laccases (Xu et al, 1996) , and tobacco laccase as well (Kiefer-Meyer et al , 1996), possess nonliganding residues, such as Leu or Phe.…”

“…MCOs use a minimum of four Cu centers: a ''blue,'' type 1 Cu site and a trinuclear Cu cluster composed of a ''normal,'' type 2 Cu and a binuclear type 3 Cu site that together catalyze the 4-electron reduction of O 2 to water with concomitant oxidation of substrates (2,3). Crystal structures indicate that both the type 3 Cu active sites in Hc/CatO/Tyr (4-10) and the MCOs (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25) are similarly held in the protein by three His ligands on each Cu center. No additional ligands are present in the deoxy forms, whereas oxygen-derived ligands bridge and exchange couple the two Cu(II)s in the oxidized forms.…”
