Abstract:
Abstract As the sole iron exporter in humans, ferroportin controls systemic iron homeostasis through exporting iron into the blood plasma. The molecular mechanism of how ferroportin exports iron under various physiological settings remains unclear. Here we found that purified ferroportin incorporated into liposomes preferentially transports Fe2+ and exhibits lower affinities of transporting other divalent metal ions. The iron transport by ferroportin is facilitated by downhill proton gradients at the same direction. Human ferroportin is also capable of transporting protons, and this activity i

Abstract:
Iron is an essential element for plant growth and development. While abundant in soil, the available Fe in soil is limited. In this regard, plants have evolved a series of mechanisms for efficient iron uptake, allowing plants to better adapt to iron deficient conditions. These mechanisms include iron acquisition from soil, iron transport from roots to shoots, and iron storage in cells. The mobilization of Fe in plants often occurs via chelating with phytosiderophores, citrate, nicotianamine, mugineic acid, or in the form of free iron ions. Recent work further elucidates that these genes’ respo

Abstract:
Iron deficiency, a global health problem, impairs reproductive performance, cognitive development, and work capacity. One proposed strategy to address this problem is the improvement of dietary iron bioavailability. Knowledge of the molecular mechanisms of iron absorption is growing rapidly, with identification of mucosal iron transport and regulatory proteins. Both body iron status and dietary characteristics substantially influence iron absorption, with minimal interaction between these two factors. Iron availability can be regarded mainly as a characteristic of the diet, but comparisons bet

Iron is an essential trace mineral that plays a number of important physiological roles in humans, including oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Iron absorption by the proximal small bowel is a critical checkpoint in the maintenance of whole-body iron levels since, unlike most other essential nutrients, no regulated excretory systems exist for iron in humans. Maintaining proper iron levels is critical to avoid the adverse physiological consequences of either low or high tissue iron concentrations, as commonly occurs in iron-deficiency anemia and hereditary hemo

ABSTRACT In Agrobacterium tumefaciens, the balance between acquiring enough iron and avoiding iron-induced toxicity is regulated in part by Fur (ferric uptake regulator). A fur mutant was constructed to address the physiological role of the regulator. Atypically, the mutant did not show alterations in the levels of siderophore biosynthesis and the expression of iron transport genes. However, the fur mutant was more sensitive than the wild type to an iron chelator, 2,2′-dipyridyl, and was also more resistant to an iron-activated antibiotic, streptonigrin, suggesting that Fur has a role in regul

Abstract:
Abstract Iron is a micronutrient essential for almost all organisms: bacteria, plants, and animals. It is a metal that exists in multiple redox states, including the divalent ferrous (Fe2+) and the trivalent ferric (Fe3+) species. The multiple oxidation states of iron make it excellent for electron transfer, allowing iron to be selected during evolution as a cofactor for many proteins involved in central cellular processes including oxygen transport, mitochondrial respiration, and DNA synthesis. However, the redox cycling of ferrous and ferric iron in the presence of H2O2, which is physiologic

Abstract:
Human normal adult hemoglobin (Hb) A, the oxygen carrier of blood, is a tetrameric protein consisting of two α chains of 141 amino acid residues each and two β chains of 146 amino acid residues each. Each Hb chain contains a heme group which is an iron complex of protoporphyrin IX. Under physiological conditions, the heme-iron atoms of Hb remain in the ferrous state. In the absence of oxygen, the four heme-irom atoms in Hb A are in the highspin ferrous state [Fe(II)] with four unpaired electrons each. Each of the four heme-iron atoms in Hb A can combine with an O2 molecule to give oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) in which the iron atom is in a low-spin, diamagnetic ferrous state. The oxygen binding of Hb exhibits sigmoidal behavior, with an overall association constant expression giving a greater than first-power dependence on the concentration of O2. Thus, the oxygenation of Hb is a cooperative process, such that when one O2 is bound, succeeding O2 molecules are bound more readily. Hb is an allosteric protein, i.e., its functional properties are regulated by a number of metabolites [such as hydrogen ions, chloride, carbon dioxide, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG)] other than its ligand, O2. It has been used as a model for allosteric proteins, and indeed, hemoglobins of vertebrates are among the most extensively studied allosteric proteins. Their allosteric properties are physiologically important in optimizing O2 transport by erythrocytes. The large number of mutant forms of Hb available provides an array of structural alterations with which to correlate effects on function. For details, see DickersonandGeis (1983), Bunnand Forget (1986), Ho (1992), Ho and Perussi (1994). There are two types of contacts between the α and β subunits of Hb (Perutz, 1970; Dickerson and Geis, 1983). The α1β1 (or α2 β2) contacts, involving B, G, and H helices, and GH corners, are called packing contacts. These contacts remain unchanged and hold the dimer together even when there is a change in the ligation state of the heme.
