A direct copper insertion mechanism is established, and the physiological requirement for copper chaperones is explained by the absence of free copper ions in the cytoplasm.

J Biol Chem. 274:1999;28497-28504. Interactions between Hah1 (hAtx1) and the Wilson and Menkes disease proteins are demonstrated by yeast two-hybrid analysis and column-binding assays, and a docked intermediate is proposed.

Proc Natl Acad Sci USA. 96:1999;13363-13368. In addition to establishing an in vivo partnership between Hah1 and the amino-terminal domains of the Wilson protein, this paper suggests that impaired copper delivery by the chaperone constitutes the molecular basis of Wilson disease in patients harboring specific mutations in the metal-handling domains.
