Escherichia coli mechanisms of copper homeostasis in a changing environment.
- C. Rensing, G. Grass
- Medicine, Biology
- FEMS microbiology reviews
- 1 June 2003
Escherichia coli is equipped with multiple systems to ensure safe copper handling under varying environmental conditions. The Cu(I)-translocating P-type ATPase CopA, the central component in copper… Expand
CopA: An Escherichia coli Cu(I)-translocating P-type ATPase.
- C. Rensing, B. Fan, R. Sharma, B. Mitra, B. Rosen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 18 January 2000
The copA gene product, a putative copper-translocating P-type ATPase, has been shown to be involved in copper resistance in Escherichia coli. The copA gene was disrupted by insertion of a kanamycin… Expand
The zntA gene of Escherichia coli encodes a Zn(II)-translocating P-type ATPase.
- C. Rensing, B. Mitra, B. Rosen
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 23 December 1997
The first Zn(II)-translocating P-type ATPase has been identified as the product of o732, a potential gene identified in the sequencing of the Escherichia coli genome. This gene, termed zntA, was… Expand
Molecular analysis of the copper-transporting efflux system CusCFBA of Escherichia coli.
- S. Franke, G. Grass, C. Rensing, D. Nies
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 July 2003
The cus determinant of Escherichia coli encodes the CusCFBA proteins that mediate resistance to copper and silver by cation efflux. CusA and CusB were essential for copper resistance, and CusC and… Expand
Metallic Copper as an Antimicrobial Surface
- G. Grass, C. Rensing, M. Solioz
- Biology, Medicine
- Applied and Environmental Microbiology
- 30 December 2010
ABSTRACT Bacteria, yeasts, and viruses are rapidly killed on metallic copper surfaces, and the term “contact killing” has been coined for this process. While the phenomenon was already known in… Expand

TLDR
Intracellular copper does not catalyze the formation of oxidative DNA damage in Escherichia coli.
- L. Macomber, C. Rensing, J. Imlay
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 March 2007
Because copper catalyzes the conversion of H(2)O(2) to hydroxyl radicals in vitro, it has been proposed that oxidative DNA damage may be an important component of copper toxicity. Elimination of the… Expand
Genes involved in arsenic transformation and resistance associated with different levels of arsenic-contaminated soils
- L. Cai, Guanghui Liu, C. Rensing, G. Wang
- Biology, Medicine
- BMC Microbiology
- 8 January 2009
BackgroundArsenic is known as a toxic metalloid, which primarily exists in inorganic form [As(III) and As(V)] and can be transformed by microbial redox processes in the natural environment. As(III)… Expand
Arsenic detoxification and evolution of trimethylarsine gas by a microbial arsenite S-adenosylmethionine methyltransferase
- J. Qin, B. Rosen, Y. Zhang, G. Wang, S. Franke, C. Rensing
- Biology, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences…
- 1 February 2006
In this article, a mechanism of arsenite [As(III)]resistance through methylation and subsequent volatization is described. Heterologous expression of arsM from Rhodopseudomonas palustris was shown to… Expand
Families of soft-metal-ion-transporting ATPases.
- C. Rensing, M. Ghosh, B. Rosen
- Biology, Medicine
- Journal of bacteriology
- 1 October 1999
Life undoubtedly first arose in waters rich in metal ions. Since most metal ions are toxic in excess, it is reasonable to speculate that metal resistances probably evolved early, predating antibiotic… Expand
