Genome-wide identification and functional analysis of metallothionein family genes in response to cadmium/copper exposure in the unicellular eukaryote Paramecium

Metallothioneins (MTs) comprise an exceptionally heterogeneous protein family with cysteine-rich domains playing crucial roles in metal detoxification for eukaryotes, including protists. Although Paramecium, a well-known ciliated protozoan, is an ideal model for metal stress studies, its MT gene fam...
