| Abstract | Rabbit liver metallothionein-1 in which all seven metal-binding sites are occupied by cobalt(II) exhibits spectral features typical of tetrathiolate coordination with approximate Td microsymmetry [Vasák, M. (1980) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 102, 3953-3955]. With a total of 20 cysteine residues per molecule, this mode of metal binding implies that some of the thiolate ligands are shared by neighboring Co(II) ions, resulting in clustered structures. In this study, evidence for the existence of thiolate-linked Co(II) clusters is presented and their mode of formation is explored by comparing the optical and magnetic properties of forms of Co(II)-metallothionein containing 1-7 equivalents of Co(II). Preparations with up to 4 Co(II) equivalents display electronic spectra in the d-d and charge-transfer regions that resemble those of isolated tetrahedral Co(II)-tetrathiolate complexes. Upon binding of more than four Co(II) ions, however, the spectrum changes progressively and approaches in the fully saturated Co(II)-metallothionein an absorption profile similar to that of crystallographically defined model (Co)II-tetrathiolate clusters [Dance, I. G. (1979) J. Am. Chem. Soc. 101, 6264-6273]. These effects are closely paralleled by changes in the ESR spectrum. Above 4 Co(II) equivalents per thionein, the ESR signal at gx approximately 5.9 measured at 4 K decreases progressively in intensity, until in the fully occupied protein the complex is nearly diamagnetic. These changes, which were confirmed by measurements of paramagnetic susceptibility, establish the existence of Co(II) thiolate clusters in Co(II)-metallothionein. The loss of paramagnetism reflects most likely antiferromagnetic coupling of neighboring Co(II) ions brought about by a superexchange mechanism via the thiolate bridging ligands. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
