The Ala/16Val dimorphism incorporates alanine (Ala) or valine (Val) in the mitochondrial targeting sequence of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), modifying MnSOD mitochondrial import and activity. In alcoholic cirrhotic patients, the Ala-MnSOD allele is associated with hepatic iron accumulation and an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. The Ala-MnSOD variant could modulate the expression of proteins involved in iron storage (cytosolic ferritin), uptake (transferrin receptors, TfR-1 and-2), extrusion (hepcidin), and intracellular distribution (frataxin) to trigger hepatic iron accumulation. We therefore assessed the Ala/Val-MnSOD genotype and the hepatic iron score in 162 alcoholic cirrhotic patients. In our cohort, this hepatic iron score increased with the number of Ala-MnSOD alleles. We also transfected Huh7 cells with Ala-MnSOD-or Val-MnSOD-encoding plasmids and assessed cellular iron, MnSOD activity, and diverse mRNAs and proteins. In Huh7 cells, MnSOD activity was higher after Ala-MnSOD transfection than after Val-MnSOD transfection. Additionally, iron supplementation decreased transfected MnSOD proteins and activities. Ala-MnSOD transfection increased the mRNAs and proteins of ferritin, hepcidin, and TfR2, decreased the expression of frataxin, and caused cellular iron accumulation. In contrast, Val-MnSOD transfection had limited effects. In conclusion, the Ala-MnSOD variant favors hepatic iron accumulation by modulating the expression of proteins involved in iron homeostasis. 相似文献

With rare exceptions, virtually all studied organisms from Archaea to man are dependent on iron for survival. Despite the ubiquitous distribution and abundance of iron in the biosphere, iron-dependent life must contend with the paradoxical hazards of iron deficiency and iron overload, each with its serious or fatal consequences. Homeostatic mechanisms regulating the absorption, transport, storage and mobilization of cellular iron are therefore of critical importance in iron metabolism, and a rich biology and chemistry underlie all of these mechanisms. A coherent understanding of that biology and chemistry is now rapidly emerging. In this review we will emphasize discoveries of the past decade, which have brought a revolution to the understanding of the molecular events in iron metabolism. Of central importance has been the discovery of new proteins carrying out functions previously suspected but not understood or, more interestingly, unsuspected and surprising. Parallel discoveries have delineated regulatory mechanisms controlling the expression of proteins long known--the transferrin receptor and ferritin--as well as proteins new to the scene of iron metabolism and its homeostatic control. These proteins include the iron regulatory proteins (IRPs 1 and 2), a variety of ferrireductases in yeast an mammalian cells, membrane transporters (DMT1 and ferroportin 1), a multicopper ferroxidase involved in iron export from cells (hephaestin), and regulators of mitochondrial iron balance (frataxin and MFT). Experimental models, making use of organisms from yeast through the zebrafish to rodents have asserted their power in elucidating normal iron metabolism, as well as its genetic disorders and their underlying molecular defects. Iron absorption, previously poorly understood, is now a fruitful subject for research and well on its way to detailed elucidation. The long-sought hemochromatosis gene has been found, and active research is underway to determine how its aberrant functioning results in disease that is easily controlled but lethal when untreated. A surprising connection between iron metabolism and Friedreich's ataxia has been uncovered. It is no exaggeration to say that the new understanding of iron metabolism in health and disease has been explosive, and that what is past is likely to be prologue to what is ahead. 相似文献

The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) protein, as originally described in Escherichia coli, is an iron-sensing repressor that controls the expression of genes for siderophore biosynthesis and iron transport. Although
Fur is commonly thought of as a metal-dependent repressor, Fur also activates the expression of many genes by either indirect
or direct mechanisms. In the best studied model systems, Fur functions as a global regulator of iron homeostasis controlling
both the induction of iron uptake functions (under iron limitation) and the expression of iron storage proteins and iron-utilizing
enzymes (under iron sufficiency). We now appreciate that there is a tremendous diversity in metal selectivity and biological
function within the Fur family which includes sensors of iron (Fur), zinc (Zur), manganese (Mur), and nickel (Nur). Despite
numerous studies, the mechanism of metal ion sensing by Fur family proteins is still controversial. Other family members use
metal catalyzed oxidation reactions to sense peroxide-stress (PerR) or the availability of heme (Irr). 相似文献

Iron transport in Mycobacterium smegmatis: occurrence of iron-regulated envelope proteins as potential receptors for iron uptake 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Cell-envelope fractions were isolated from the rapidly growing saprophyte Mycobacterium smegmatis following growth in glycerol/asparagine medium under both iron-limited (0.02 microgram Fe ml-1) and iron-sufficient (2.0 to 4.0 micrograms Fe ml-1) conditions. Examination of these preparations by SDS-PAGE demonstrated the production of at least four additional proteins when iron was limiting. These iron-regulated envelope proteins (IREPs) were ascribed apparent molecular masses of 180 kDa (protein I), 84 kDa (protein II), 29 kDa (protein III) and 25 kDa (protein IV). All four proteins were present in both cell-wall and membrane preparations but spheroplast preparations were devoid of the 29 kDa protein. Attempts at labelling the proteins with 55FeCl3 or 55Fe-exochelin, the siderophore for iron uptake, were unsuccessful, though this was attributed to the denatured state of the proteins following electrophoresis. Antibodies were raised to each of the four proteins: the one raised to protein III inhibited exochelin-mediated iron uptake into iron-deficiently grown cells by 70% but was ineffective against iron uptake into iron-sufficiently grown cells. As exochelin is taken up into both types of cells by a similar process, protein III may not be a simple receptor for iron uptake though the results imply some function connected with this process. The role of the other IREPs is less certain. 相似文献

The proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of various metal substituted derivatives of horse cytochrome c have been studied and compared to the spectra of native cytochrome c. The proteins studied were the cobalt(III), copper(II), iron(II), iron(III), manganese(III), nickel(II), and zinc(II) derivatives. Spectra of the diamagnetic cobalt(III), iron(II), and zinc(II) proteins were well-resolved and specific resonance assignments were made. All three proteins possessed a methionine ligand to the metal. The spectrum of cobalt(III) cytochrome c was investigated in some detail as this protein was used as a diagmagnetic control for iron(III) cytochrome c. Comparison of the spectra of cobalt(III) and iron(II) cytochromes c revealed that their conformations were very similar but the following conclusion could be made; the oxidation of cytochrome c is accompanied by a small conformation change. 相似文献

Using biological iron chelators to control specifically iron availability to Escherichia coli K-12 in conjunction with radioactive pulse-labels, we examined the biosynthesis of six iron-regulated membrane proteins. Iron deprivation induced the synthesis of five proteins, which had molecular weights of 83,000 (83K), 81K (Fep), 78K (TonA), 74K (Cir), and 25K. The kinetics of induction were the same in entA and entA+ strains, but were affected by the initial iron availability in the media. Iron-poor cells induced rapidly (half-time, 10 min), whereas iron-rich cells began induction after a lag and showed a slower induction half-time (30 min). Within this general pattern of induction after iron deprivation, several different kinetic patterns were apparent. The 83K, 81K, and 74K proteins were coordinately controlled under all of the conditions examined. The 78K and 25K proteins were regulated differently. The synthesis of a previously unrecognized 90K inner membrane protein was inhibited by iron deprivation and stimulated by iron repletion. Both ferrichrome and ferric enterobactin completely repressed 81K and 74K synthesis when the siderophores were supplied at concentrations of 5 μM in vivo (half-time, 2.5 min). At concentrations less than 5 μM, however, both siderophores repressed synthesis only temporarily; the duration of repression was proportional to the amount of ferric siderophore added. The half-lives of the 81K and 74K mRNAs, as measured by rifampin treatment, were 1.2 and 1.6 min, respectively. The results of this study suggest that enteric bacteria are capable of instantaneously detecting and reacting to fluctuations in the extracellular iron concentration and that they store iron during periods of iron repletion for utilization during periods of iron stress. Neither iron storage nor iron regulation of envelope protein synthesis is dependent on the ability of the bacteria to form heme. 相似文献

The microbial metalloproteome has been largely unexplored. Using the metalloproteomics approach MIRAGE (Metal Isotope native RadioAutography in Gel Electrophoresis) we have been able to explore the soluble Fe and Zn metalloproteome of Escherichia coli. The protein identification by MS/MS typically resulted in several overlapping proteins for each metal containing spot. Using the E. coli genome annotation the proteins relevant to the iron and zinc proteome were selected. Superoxide dismutase (SodB) was found to be the major iron protein after cultivation with a normal iron concentration of 6 μM. Upon an elevated iron concentration of 40 μM, ferritin (FtnA) became dominant. Under both conditions 90% of the iron was associated with just three different proteins: superoxide dismutase (SodB), ferritin (FtnA) and bacterioferritin (Bfr). The uncharacterized proteins YgfK and XdhD were found to be significant iron containing proteins under elevated iron conditions. The zinc proteome of E. coli experiencing zinc stress was dominated by ZraP, a putative zinc storage protein. 相似文献

In our previous study, the expression of active H-ferritins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae was found to reduce cell growth and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation upon exposure to oxidative stress; such expression enhanced that of high-affinity iron transport genes (FET3 and FTR1). The results suggested that the recombinant cells expressing H-ferritins induced cytosolic iron depletion. The present study analyzes metabolic changes under these circumstances via proteomic methods. The YGH2 yeast strain expressing H-ferritin, the YGH2-KG (E62K and H65G) mutant strain, and the YGT control strain were used. Comparative proteomic analysis showed that the synthesis of 34 proteins was at least stimulated in YGH2, whereas the other 37 proteins were repressed. Among these, the 31 major protein spots were analyzed via nano-LC/MS/MS. The increased proteins included major heat-shock proteins and proteins related to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD). On the other hand, the proteins involved with folate metabolism, purine and methionine biosynthesis, and translation were reduced. In addition, we analyzed the insoluble protein fractions and identified the fragments of Idh1p and Pgk1p, as well as several ribosomal assembly-related proteins. This suggests that intracellular iron depletion induces imperfect translation of proteins. Although the proteins identified above result from changes in iron metabolism (i.e., iron deficiency), definitive evidence for iron-related proteins remains insufficient. Nevertheless, this study is the first to present a molecular model for iron deficiency, and the results may provide valuable information on the regulatory network of iron metabolism. 相似文献

The mRNA level of the aconitase gene acn of Corynebacterium glutamicum is reduced under iron limitation. Here we show that an AraC-type regulator, termed RipA for "regulator of iron proteins A," is involved in this type of regulation. A C. glutamicum DeltaripA mutant has a 2-fold higher aconitase activity than the wild type under iron limitation, but not under iron excess. Comparison of the mRNA profiles of the DeltaripA mutant and the wild type revealed that the acn mRNA level was increased in the DeltaripA mutant under iron limitation, but not under iron excess, indicating a repressor function of RipA. Besides acn, some other genes showed increased mRNA levels in the DeltaripA mutant under iron starvation (i.e. those encoding succinate dehydrogenase (sdhCAB), nitrate/nitrite transporter and nitrate reductase (narKGHJI), isopropylmalate dehydratase (leuCD), catechol 1,2-dioxygenase (catA), and phosphotransacetylase (pta)). Most of these proteins contain iron. Purified RipA binds to the upstream regions of all operons mentioned above and in addition to that of the catalase gene (katA). From 13 identified binding sites, the RipA consensus binding motif RRGCGN(4)RYGAC was deduced. Expression of ripA itself is repressed under iron excess by DtxR, since purified DtxR binds to a well conserved binding site upstream of ripA. Thus, repression of acn and the other target genes indicated above under iron limitation involves a regulatory cascade of two repressors, DtxR and its target RipA. The modulation of the intracellular iron usage by RipA supplements mechanisms for iron acquisition that are directly regulated by DtxR. 相似文献

Storage of iron in a nontoxic and bioavailable form is essential for many forms of life. Three subfamilies of the ferritin-like superfamily, namely, ferritin, bacterioferritin, and Dps (DNA-binding proteins from starved cells), are able to store iron. Although the function of these iron-storage proteins is constitutive to many organisms to sustain life, the genome of some organisms appears not to encode any of these proteins. In an attempt to identify new iron-storage systems, we have found and characterized a new member of the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins, which unlike the multimeric storage system of ferritin, bacterioferritin, and Dps is monomeric in the absence of iron. Monomers catalyze oxidation of Fe(II) and they store the Fe(III) product as they assemble to form structures comparable to those of 24-meric ferritin. We propose that this mechanism is an alternative method of iron storage by the ferritin-like superfamily of proteins in organisms that lack the regular preassociated 24-meric/12-meric ferritins. 相似文献

Vertebrates control intracellular iron concentration principally through the interaction of iron regulatory proteins with mRNAs that contain an iron responsive element, a small hairpin with a bulged C. The hairpin loop and bulged C have previously been assumed to be critical for binding and have been proposed to make direct contact with the iron regulatory proteins. However, we show here that a U or G can be substituted for the bulged C provided that specific nucleotides are also present within internal loops. The K(d), IC(50) and chemical modifications of the iron responsive element variants are similar to the wild-type. Results are more consistent with a role in which the C-bulge functions to orient the hairpin for optimal protein binding rather than to directly contact the protein. Characterization of these novel iron responsive element variants may facilitate the identification of additional mRNAs whose expression is controlled by iron regulatory proteins, as well as provide insight into the nature of a critical RNA-protein interaction. 相似文献

It is clear from epidemiological studies that excess iron is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer; however, questions regarding the mechanism of how iron increases cancer risk, the source of the excess iron (circulating or luminal), and whether iron reduction represents a potential therapeutic option remain unanswered. In this study, we show that after Apc deletion, the cellular iron acquisition proteins TfR1 and DMT1 are rapidly induced. Conversely, restoration of APC reduces cellular iron due to repression of these proteins. To test the functional importance of these findings, we performed in vivo investigations of the impact of iron levels on intestinal tumorigenesis. Strikingly, depletion of luminal (but not systemic) iron strongly suppressed murine intestinal tumorigenesis, whereas increased luminal iron strongly promoted tumorigenesis. Taken together, our data definitively delineate iron as a potent modifier of intestinal tumorigenesis and have important implications for dietary iron supplementation in patients at high risk of colorectal cancer. 相似文献

To fulfill their nutritional requirement for iron, bacteria utilize various iron sources which include the host proteins transferrin and lactoferrin, heme, and low molecular weight iron chelators termed siderophores. The iron sources are transported into the Gram-negative bacterial cell via specific uptake pathways which include an outer membrane receptor, a periplasmic binding protein (PBP), and an inner membrane ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. Over the past two decades, structures for the proteins involved in bacterial iron uptake have not only been solved, but their functions have begun to be understood at the molecular level. However, the elucidation of the three dimensional structures of all components of the iron uptake pathways is currently limited. Despite the low sequence homology between different bacterial species, the available three-dimensional structures of homologous proteins are strikingly similar. Examination of the current three-dimensional structures of the outer membrane receptors, PBPs, and ABC transporters provides an overview of the structural biology of iron uptake in bacteria. 相似文献

The mechanism by which hepcidin controls cellular iron release protein ferroportin 1 (Fpn1) in macrophages has been well established. However, little is known about the effects of hepcidin on cellular iron uptake proteins. Here, we demonstrated for the first time that hepcidin can significantly inhibit the expression of transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1) and divalent metal transporter 1 in addition to Fpn1, and therefore reduce transferrin-bound iron and non-transferrin-bound iron uptake and also iron release in J774 macrophages. Analysis of mechanisms using the iron-depleted cells showed that hepcidin has a direct inhibitory effect on all iron transport proteins we examined. Further studies demonstrated that the down-regulation of TfR1 induced by hepcidin is associated with cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and protein kinase A (PKA), probably being mediated by the cAMP–PKA pathway in J774 macrophages. 相似文献

Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs), the cytosolic proteins involved in the maintenance of cellular iron homeostasis, bind to stem loop structures found in the mRNA of key proteins involved iron uptake, storage, and metabolism and regulate the expression of these proteins in response to changes in cellular iron needs. We have shown previously that HFE-expressing fWTHFE/tTA HeLa cells have slightly increased transferrin receptor levels and dramatically reduced ferritin levels when compared to the same clonal cell line without HFE (Gross et al., 1998, J Biol Chem 273:22068-22074). While HFE does not alter transferrin receptor trafficking or non-transferrin mediated iron uptake, it does specifically reduce (55)Fe uptake from transferrin (Roy et al., 1999, J Biol Chem 274:9022-9028). In this report, we show that IRP RNA binding activity is increased by up to 5-fold in HFE-expressing cells through the activation of both IRP isoforms. Calcein measurements show a 45% decrease in the intracellular labile iron pool in HFE-expressing cells, which is in keeping with the IRP activation. These results all point to the direct effect of the interaction of HFE with transferrin receptor in lowering the intracellular labile iron pool and establishing a new set point for iron regulation within the cell. 相似文献
