Copper Chaperone CupA and Zinc Control CopY Regulation of the Pneumococcal cop Operon

Any metal in excess can be toxic; therefore, metal homeostasis is critical to bacterial survival. Bacteria have developed specialized metal import and export systems for this purpose. For broadly toxic metals such as copper, bacteria have evolved only export systems. The copper export system (cop op...
