Metallothioneins are typically low relative molecular mass (6000–7000), sulfhydryl-rich metal-binding proteins with characteristic repeating cysteine motifs (Cys-X-Cys or Cys-Xn-Cys) and a prolate ellipsoid shape containing single a-andb-domains. While functionally diverse, they play important roles in the homeostasis, detoxification and stress response of metals.

While functionally diverse they play important roles in the homeostasis detoxification and stress response of metals. The originally reported metallothionein of the American oyster Crassostrea virginica showed the canonical molluscan ab-domain structure. Oyster metallo-thioneins have been characterized as cDNA and as expressed proteins and here it is shown that the previously reported metallothionein is a prototypical member of a subfamily designated as CvMT-I of ab-domain metallothioneins. A second extensive subfamily of oyster metallothioneins designated as CvMT-II has apparently arisen from a a stop mutation that truncates the protein after the a-domain and b a subsequent series of duplication and recombination events that have led to the development of metallothionein isoforms containing one to four a-domains and that lack a b-domain. Analysis of metallothioneins revealed that certain CvMT-I isoforms showed preferential association either with cadmium or with copper and zinc even after exposure to cadmium. These data extend our knowledge of the evolutionary diversification of metallothioneins and indicate differences in .
