Zinc stoichiometry of the two ZnT8 CTD variants. Fraction of the maximum Zn2+ content of 10 μm ZnT8cR (teal diamonds) and ZnT8cW (red circles) following incubation with 0–10 molar equivalents of Zn2+ and subsequent gel filtration to remove unbound Zn2+. Protein concentration was determined spectrophotometrically (Materials and methods). The intersection points in the titration data indicate that ZnT8cR binds Zn2+ with a stoichiometry of 2.6 ± 0.4 per monomer, whereas ZnT8cW binds 3.2 ± 0.5 per monomer. The difference between the two variants is not statistically significant (n = 3 for both variants, P = 0.156).
