Most of the bound Cd2+, which accumulates in the livers and kidneys of adult rats after the subcutaneous injection of CdCl2(2·2 μmoles/100 g body wt) is recovered as a single, heat-stable fraction from the soluble components of these tissues. Although this fraction in either organ also binds Zn2+, Cd2+does not displace Zn2+from any of the normal, soluble Zn2+-metalloproteins.The proteins of liver and kidney that accumulate Cd2+do not appear to be identical, but have properties in common and after, but not before removal of the bound cations are rich in —SH groups. At least in the male rat, these Cd2+-binding proteins are not normal components of these tissues but are synthesized in response to the uptake of the foreign cation. In the liver, this synthesis seems to be controlled at the translational level, since it is inhibited by cycloheximide, but not by actinomycin D. Also in the liver, the synthesis of the same protein is induced by excess Zn2+, but not by Co2+, Ni2+and Pb2+and it is possible that the “binding proteins” normally function in the control of Zn2+-metabolism. Their induction by Cd2+and also by Hg2+, thus may be a consequence of the similarities in the chemical properties of these cations and of Zn2+.
