Identification
Name:Cadmium
DescriptionCadmium is a chemical element with the symbol Cd and atomic number 48. Cadmium usually has an oxidation state of +2 in most of its compounds, but it also exists in the +1 state. (Wikipedia) Cadmium interacts with many E. coli enzymes in its 2+ cation form. For example, Cd2+ is an activator of threonine dehydrogenase, and an inhibitor of alpha-galactosidase. (EcoCyc)

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in nucleotide binding
Specific function:
Involved in export of lead, cadmium, zinc and mercury
Gene Name:
zntA
Uniprot ID:
P37617
Molecular weight:
76839
Reactions
ATP + H(2)O + Cd(2+)(In) = ADP + phosphate + Cd(2+)(Out).
ATP + H(2)O + Zn(2+)(In) = ADP + phosphate + Zn(2+)(Out).

Transporters

General function:
Involved in metal ion transmembrane transporter activity
Specific function:
Mediates zinc uptake. May also transport other divalent cations such as copper and cadmium ions
Gene Name:
zupT
Uniprot ID:
P0A8H3
Molecular weight:
26484
General function:
Involved in cation transmembrane transporter activity
Specific function:
Involved in zinc efflux across the cytoplasmic membrane, thus reducing zinc accumulation in the cytoplasm and rendering bacteria more resistant to zinc. It may contribute to zinc homeostasis at low concentrations of zinc, whereas zntA is required for growth at more toxic concentrations
