Tetramethylthiuram disulfide or dimethyldithiocarbamate induces the synthesis of cadystins, heavy metal chelating peptides, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe.
Tetramethylthiuram disulfide (TMTD) or dimethyldithiocarbamate (DMDTC) induces the synthesis of cadystins, a family of heavy metal chelating isopeptides with the formula (gamma-Glu-Cys)n-Gly (n = 2,3,4,...), in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Amount of cadystins synthesized in TMTD or DMDTC treated cells is less than that synthesized in CdCl2 treated cells but much more than that synthesized in ZnCl2 or CuSO4 treated cells.
