Siderocalin (also lipocalin 2, NGAL or 24p3) binds iron as complexes with specific siderophores, which are low molecular weight, ferric ion-specific chelators. In innate immunity, siderocalin slows the growth of infecting bacteria by sequestering bacterial ferric siderophores. Siderocalin also binds simple catechols, which can serve as siderophores in the damaged urinary tract. Siderocalin has also been proposed to alter cellular iron trafficking, for instance, driving apoptosis through iron efflux via BOCT. An endogenous siderophore composed of gentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid) substituents was proposed to mediate cellular efflux. However, binding studies reported herein contradict the proposal that gentisic acid forms high-affinity ternary complexes with siderocalin and iron, or that gentisic acid can serve as an endogenous siderophore at neutral pH. We also demonstrate that siderocalin does not induce cellular iron efflux or stimulate apoptosis, questioning the role siderocalin plays in modulating iron metabolism. 相似文献

Upon iron limitation, Bacillus subtilis secretes the catecholic trilactone (2,3-dihydroxybenzoate-glycine-threonine)3 siderophore bacillibactin (BB) for ferric iron scavenging. Here, we show that ferri-BB uptake is mediated by the FeuABC transporter and that YuiI, a novel trilactone hydrolase, catalyses ferri-BB hydrolysis leading to cytosolic iron release. Among several Fur-regulated ABC transport mutants, only DeltafeuABC exhibited impaired growth during iron starvation. Quantification of intra- and extracellular (ferri)-BB in iron-depleted DeltafeuABC cultures revealed a fourfold increase of the extracellular siderophore concentration, confirming a blocked ferri-BB uptake in the absence of FeuABC. Ferri-BB was found to bind selectively to the periplasmic binding protein FeuA (Kd = 57 +/- 1 nM), proving high-affinity transport of the iron-charged siderophore. During iron starvation, a DeltayuiI mutant displayed impaired growth and strong intracellular (30-fold) and extracellular (6.5-fold) (ferri)-BB accumulation. Kinetic studies in vitro revealed that YuiI hydrolyses both BB and ferri-BB. While BB hydrolysis led to strong accumulation of the tri- and dimeric reaction intermediates, ferri-BB hydrolysis yielded exclusively the monomeric reaction product and occurred with a 25-fold higher catalytic efficiency than BB single hydrolysis. Thus, ferri-BB was the preferred substrate of the YuiI esterase whose gene locus was designated besA. 相似文献

Siderophore-binding proteins play an essential role in the uptake of iron in many Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. FhuD is an ATP-binding cassette-type (ABC-type) binding protein involved in the uptake of hydroxamate-type siderophores in Escherichia coli. Structures of FhuD complexed with the antibiotic albomycin, the fungal siderophore coprogen and the drug Desferal have been determined at high resolution by x-ray crystallography. FhuD has an unusual bilobal structure for a periplasmic ligand binding protein, with two mixed beta/alpha domains connected by a long alpha-helix. The binding site for hydroxamate-type ligands is composed of a shallow pocket that lies between these two domains. Recognition of siderophores primarily occurs through interactions between the iron-hydroxamate centers of each siderophore and the side chains of several key residues in the binding pocket. Rearrangements of side chains within the binding pocket accommodate the unique structural features of each siderophore. The backbones of the siderophores are not involved in any direct interactions with the protein, demonstrating how siderophores with considerable chemical and structural diversity can be bound by FhuD. For albomycin, which consists of an antibiotic group attached to a hydroxamate siderophore, electron density for the antibiotic portion was not observed. Therefore, this study provides a basis for the rational design of novel bacteriostatic agents, in the form of siderophore-antibiotic conjugates that can act as "Trojan horses," using the hydroxamate-type siderophore uptake system to actively deliver antibiotics directly into targeted pathogens. 相似文献

SIDEROPHORE‐INDEPENDENT IRON UPTAKE BY IRON‐LIMITED CELLS OF THE CYANOBACTERIUM ANABAENA FLOS‐AQUAE1
Iron acquisition by iron‐limited cyanobacteria is typically considered to be mediated mainly by siderophores, iron‐chelating molecules released by iron‐limited cyanobacteria into the environment. In this set of experiments, iron uptake by iron‐limited cells of the cyanobacterium Anabaena flos‐aquae (L.) Bory was investigated in cells resuspended in siderophore‐free medium. Removal of siderophores decreased iron‐uptake rates by ~60% compared to siderophore‐replete conditions; however, substantial rates of iron uptake remained. In the absence of siderophores, Fe(III) uptake was much more rapid from a weaker synthetic chelator [N‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine‐N,N′,N′‐triacetic acid (HEDTA); log Kcond = 28.64 for Fe(III)HEDTA(OH)?] than from a very strong chelator [N,N′‐bis(2‐hydroxybenzyl)‐ethylenediamine‐N,N′‐diacetic acid (HBED); log Kcond = 31.40 for Fe(III)HBED?], and increasing chelator:Fe(III) ratios decreased the Fe(III)‐uptake rate; these results were evident in both short‐term (4 h; absence of siderophores) and long‐term (116 h; presence of siderophores) experiments. However, free (nonchelated) Fe(III) provided the most rapid iron uptake in siderophore‐free conditions. The results of the short‐term experiments are consistent with an Fe(III)‐binding/uptake mechanism associated with the cyanobacterial outer membrane that operates independently of extracellular siderophores. Iron uptake was inhibited by temperature‐shock treatments of the cells and by metabolically compromising the cells with diphenyleneiodonium; this finding indicates that the process is dependent on active metabolism to operate and is not simply a passive Fe(III)‐binding mechanism. Overall, these results point to an important, siderophore‐independent iron‐acquisition mechanism by iron‐limited cyanobacterial cells. 相似文献

Summary Low concentrations of nalidixic acid and oxolinic acid that were just inhibitory toAzotobacter vinelandii growth promoted the production of the catechol siderophores azotochelin and aminochelin, in the presence of normally repressive concentrations of Fe3+. There was a limited effect on the pyoverdin siderophore, azotobactin, where low concentrations of Fe3+ were rendered less repressive, but the repression by higher concentrations of Fe3+ was normal. These drugs did not induce high-molecular-mass iron-repressible outer-membrane proteins and similar effects on the regulation of catechol siderophore synthesis were not produced by novobiocin, coumermycin, or ethidium bromide. The timing of nalidixic acid and Fe3+ addition to iron-limited cells was critical. Nalidixic acid had to be added before iron-repression of catechol siderophore synthesis and before the onset of iron-sufficient growth. Continued production of the catechol siderophores, however, was not due to interference with normal iron uptake. These data indicated that nalidixic acid prevented normal iron-repression of catechol siderophore synthesis but could not reverse iron repression once it had ocurred. The possible roles of DNA gyrase activity in the regulation of catechol siderophore synthesis is discussed. 相似文献

Role of two siderophores in Ustilago sphaerogena. Regulation of biosynthesis and uptake mechanisms 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Under iron-deficient conditions the smut fungus Ustilago sphaerogena produces two kinds of siderophores, ferrichrome and ferrichrome A. Regulation of ligand biosyntheses and uptake mechanisms of the iron chelates were studied to determine the role of each chelate in U. sphaerogena. The biosynthesis of each ligand was differentially regulated. Ferrichrome A, the more effective chelate, was preferentially synthesized under more extreme conditions of iron stress, but completely repressed when the cell was supplied with sufficient iron. In contrast, biosynthesis of ferrichrome was strongly but not completely repressed by iron. The mechanism of repression was examined using a newly developed in vivo synthesis assay. Chromium and gallium-containing siderophore analogs had no effect on siderophore ligand biosynthesis. Iron, added as siderophores, resulted in increased oxygen uptake and amino acid transport, which was soon followed by decreased ligand biosynthesis, suggesting that regulation may be indirect and related to oxidative metabolism. Uptake experiments were used to rule out a ligand-exchange mechanism for ferrichrome A-iron transport. The data suggest that ferrichrome A-iron is taken up at a specific site that results in a rapid distribution of iron inside the cell. 相似文献

The regulatory logic of siderophore biosynthetic genes in bacteria involves the universal repressor Fur, which acts together with iron as a negative regulator. However in other bacteria, in addition to the Fur-mediated mechanism of regulation, there is a concurrent positive regulation of iron transport and siderophore biosynthetic genes that occurs under conditions of iron deprivation. Despite these regulatory differences the mechanisms of siderophore biosynthesis follow the same fundamental enzymatic logic, which involves a series of elongating acyl-S-enzyme intermediates on multimodular protein assembly lines: nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). A substantial variety of siderophore structures are produced from similar NRPS assembly lines, and variation can come in the choice of the phenolic acid selected as the N-cap, the tailoring of amino acid residues during chain elongation, the mode of chain termination, and the nature of the capturing nucleophile of the siderophore acyl chain being released. Of course the specific parts that get assembled in a given bacterium may reflect a combination of the inventory of biosynthetic and tailoring gene clusters available. This modular assembly logic can account for all known siderophores. The ability to mix and match domains within modules and to swap modules themselves is likely to be an ongoing process in combinatorial biosynthesis. NRPS evolution will try out new combinations of chain initiation, elongation and tailoring, and termination steps, possibly by genetic exchange with other microorganisms and/or within the same bacterium, to create new variants of iron-chelating siderophores that can fit a particular niche for the producer bacterium. 相似文献
