摘要
Going to the Mets: The uptake of Pt anticancer drugs also involves the Cu transporter Ctr1, which is located on the plasma membrane and contains functionally essential methionine-rich motifs. The methionine-rich peptide Mets7 reacts readily with PtII species. A striking difference between cis- and trans-[PtCl2(NH3)2] is that, upon reaction with Mets7, only the latter retains its N-donor ligands. Delivery of undegraded Pt drug to intracellular organelles by vesicle trafficking is hypothesized. (Figure Presented) © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.
