In high-affinity iron uptake in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Fe(II) is oxidized to Fe(III) by the multicopper oxidase, Fet3p, and the Fe(III) produced is transported into the cell via the iron permease, Ftr1p. These two proteins are likely part of a heterodimeric or higher order complex in the yeast plasma membrane. We provide kinetic evidence that the Fet3p-produced Fe(III) is trafficked to Ftr1p for permeation by a classic metabolite channeling mechanism. We examine the (59)Fe uptake kinetics for a number of complexes containing mutant forms of both Fet3p and Ftr1p and demonstrate that a residue in one protein interacts with one in the other protein along the iron trafficking pathway as would be expected in a channeling process. We show that, as a result of some of these mutations, iron trafficking becomes sensitive to an added Fe(III) chelator that inhibits uptake in a strictly competitive manner. This inhibition is not strongly dependent on the chelator strength, however, suggesting that Fe(III) dissociation from the iron uptake complex, if it occurs, is kinetically slow relative to iron permeation. Metabolite channeling is a common feature of multifunctional enzymes. We constructed the analogous ferroxidase, permease chimera and demonstrate that it supports iron uptake with a kinetic pattern consistent with a channeling mechanism. By analogy to the Fe(III) trafficking that leads to the mineralization of the ferritin core, we propose that ferric iron channeling is a conserved feature of iron homeostasis in aerobic organisms. 相似文献

The Fet3 protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a multicopper oxidase tethered to the outer surface of the yeast plasma membrane. Fet3p catalyzes the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+); this ferroxidation reaction is an obligatory first step in high-affinity iron uptake through the permease Ftr1p. Here, kinetic analyses of several Fet3p mutants identify residues that contribute to the specificity that Fet3p has for Fe(2+), one of which is essential also to the coupling of the ferroxidase and uptake processes. The spectral and kinetic properties of the D278A, E185D and A, Y354F and A, and E185A/Y354A mutants of a soluble form of Fet3p showed that all of the mutants exhibited the normal absorbance at 330 nm and 608 nm due to the type 3 and type 1 copper sites in Fet3p, respectively. The EPR spectra of the mutants were also equivalent to wild-type, showing that the type 1 and type 2 Cu(II) sites in the proteins were not perturbed. The only marked kinetic defects measured in vitro were increases in K(M) for Fe(2+) exhibited by the D278A, E185A, Y354A, and E185A/Y354A mutants. These results suggest that these three residues contribute to the ferroxidase specificity site in Fet3p. In vivo analysis of these mutant proteins in their membrane-bound form showed that only E185 mutants exhibited kinetic defects in (59)Fe uptake. For the Fet3p(E185D) mutant, K(M) for iron was 300-fold greater than the wild-type K(M), while Fet3p(E185A) was completely inactive in support of iron uptake. In situ fluorescence demonstrated that all of the mutant Fet3 proteins, in complex with an Ftr1p:YFP fusion protein, were trafficked normally to the plasma membrane. These results suggest that E185 contributes to Fe(2+ )binding to Fet3p and to the subsequent trafficking of the Fe(3+) produced to Ftr1p. 相似文献

The high affinity iron uptake complex in the yeast plasma membrane (PM) consists of the ferroxidase, Fet3p, and the ferric iron permease, Ftr1p. We used a combination of yeast two-hybrid analysis, confocal fluorescence microscopy, and fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) quantification to delineate the motifs in the two proteins required for assembly and maturation into an uptake-competent complex. The cytoplasmic, carboxyl-terminal domain of each protein contains a four-residue motif adjacent to the cytoplasm-PM interface that supports an interaction between the proteins. This interaction has been quantified by two-hybrid analysis and is required for assembly and trafficking of the complex to the PM and for the approximately 13% maximum FRET efficiency determined. In contrast, the Fet3p transmembrane domain (TM) can be exchanged with the TM domain from the vacuolar ferroxidase, Fet5p, with no loss of assembly and trafficking. A carboxyl-terminal interaction between the vacuolar proteins, Fet5p and Fth1p, also was quantified. As a measure of the specificity of interaction, no interaction between heterologous ferroxidase permease pairs was observed. Also, whereas FRET was quantified between fluorescent fusions of the copper permease (monomers), Ctr1p, none was observed between Fet3p and Ctr1p. The results are consistent with a (minimal) heterodimer model of the Fet3p.Ftr1p complex that supports the trafficking of iron from Fet3p to Ftr1p for iron permeation across the yeast PM. 相似文献

Fet3p is a multicopper oxidase (MCO) that functions together with the iron permease, Ftr1p, to support high-affinity Fe uptake in yeast. Fet3p is a ferroxidase that, like ceruloplasmin and hephaestin, couples the oxidation of 4 equiv of Fe(II) to the reduction of O2 to 2 H2O. The ferrous iron specificity of this subclass of MCO proteins has not been delineated by rigorous structure-function analysis. Here the crystal structure of Fet3p has been used as a template to identify the amino acid residues that confer this substrate specificity and then to quantify the contributions they make to this specific reactivity by thermodynamic and kinetic analyses. In terms of the Marcus theory of outer-sphere electron transfer, we show here that D283, E185, and D409 in Fet3p provide a Fe(II) binding site that actually favors ferric iron; this site thus reduces the reduction potential of the bound Fe(II) in comparison to that of aqueous ferrous iron, providing a thermodynamically more robust driving force for electron transfer. In addition, E185 and D409 constitute parts of the electron-transfer pathway from the bound Fe(II) to the protein's type 1 Cu(II). This electronic matrix coupling relies on H-bonds from the carboxylate OD2 atom of each residue to the NE2 NH group of the two histidine ligands at the type 1 Cu site. These two acidic residues and this H-bond network appear to distinguish a fungal ferroxidase from a fungal laccase since the specificity that Fet3p has for Fe(II) is completely lost in a Fet3pE185A/D409A mutant. Indeed, this double mutant functions kinetically better as a laccase, albeit a relatively inefficient one. 相似文献

High affinity iron uptake in yeast is carried out by a multicomponent system formed by the ferroxidase Fet3p and the iron permease Ftr1p. The currently accepted model predicts that Fet3p and Ftr1p are functionally associated, however, a structural interaction between these two proteins has not been proven yet. The methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris has been used to perform cross-linking studies aimed to demonstrate the existence of a Fet3p-Ftr1p complex. Cross-linking of membrane suspensions with the membrane-impermeable reagents DTSSP and BS(3) has evidenced the presence of a high molecular weight band with Fet3p oxidase activity. This band has been purified and subjected to N-terminal sequence analysis. Two sequences were found in the cross-linked species, one of which could be assigned to Fet3p and the other to Ftr1p. This is the first experimental demonstration that Fet3p and Ftr1p are physically associated. 相似文献

Fet3, the multicopper oxidase of yeast, oxidizes extracellular ferrous iron which is then transported into the cell through the permease Ftr1. A three-dimensional model structure of Fet3 has been derived by homology modeling. Fet3 consists of three cupredoxin domains joined by a trinuclear copper cluster which is connected to the blue copper site located in the third domain. Close to this site, which is the primary electron acceptor from the substrate, residues for a potential iron binding site could be identified. The surface disposition of negatively charged residues suggests that Fet3 can translocate Fe(3+) to the permease Ftr1 through a pathway under electrostatic guidance. 相似文献

High-affinity iron uptake by yeast cells appears to require the presence of a complex formed on the plasma membrane by the multicopper oxidase Fet3 and the permease Ftr1 which work together to allow iron to enter safely inside the cell. The Pichia pastoris ferroxidase Fet3 has been cloned and it has been found to display high sequence similarity to other yeast multicopper oxidases, including all the predicted ligands for the catalytic copper atoms and for the iron substrate. P. pastoris appears to possess a high-affinity iron uptake system similar to that of S. cerevisiae, as far as regulation of expression is concerned. However, the P. pastoris high-affinity iron uptake system presents a K(m) value for iron almost ten times higher than that of S. cerevisiae, possibly to control iron fluxes over a wider range of concentrations of this metal, in order to avoid toxic iron overloading. 相似文献

Fre1p is a metalloreductase in the yeast plasma membrane that is essential to uptake of environmental Cu2+ and Fe3+. Fet3p is a multicopper oxidase in this membrane essential for high affinity iron uptake. In the uptake of Fe3+, Fre1p produces Fe2+ that is a substrate for Fet3p; the Fe3+ produced by Fet3p is a ligand for the iron permease, Ftr1p. Deletion of FET3 leads to iron deficiency; this deletion also causes a copper sensitivity not seen in wild type. Deletion of FTR1 leads to copper sensitivity also. Production in the ftr1delta strain of an iron-uptake negative Ftr1p mutant, Ftr1p(RAGLA), suppressed this copper sensitivity. This Ftr1p mutant supported the plasma membrane targeting of active Fet3p that is blocked in the parental ftr1delta strain. A ferroxidase-negative Fet3p did not suppress the copper sensitivity in a fet3delta strain, although it supported the plasma membrane localization of the Fet3p.Ftr1p complex. Thus, loss of membrane-associated Fet3p oxidase activity correlated with copper sensitivity. Furthermore, in vitro Cu1+ was shown to be an excellent substrate for Fet3p. Last, the copper sensitivity of the fet3delta strain was suppressed by co-deletion of FRE1, suggesting that the cytotoxic species was Cu1+. In contrast, deletion of CTR1 or of FET4 did not suppress the copper sensitivity in the fet3delta strain; these genes encode the two major copper transporters in laboratory yeast strains. This result indicated that the apparent cuprous ion toxicity was not due to excess intracellular copper. These biochemical and physiologic results indicate that at least with respect to cuprous and ferrous ions, Fet3p can be considered a metallo-oxidase and appears to play an essential role in both iron and copper homeostasis in yeast. Its functional homologs, e.g. ceruloplasmin and hephaestin, could play a similar role in mammals. 相似文献

The Fet3 protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and mammalian ceruloplasmin are multicopper oxidases (MCO) that are required for iron homeostasis via their catalysis of the ferroxidase reaction, 4Fe(2+)+O(2)+4H(+)-->4Fe(3+)+2H(2)O. The enzymes may play an essential role in copper homeostasis since they exhibit a strikingly similar kinetic activity towards Cu(1+) as substrate. In contrast, laccase, an MCO that exhibits weak activity towards Fe(2+), exhibits a similarly weak activity towards Cu(1+). Kinetic analyses of the Fet3p reaction demonstrate that the ferroxidase and cuprous oxidase activities are due to the same electron transfer site on the enzyme. These two ferroxidases are fully competent kinetically to play a major role in maintaining the cuprous-cupric redox balance in aerobic organisms. 相似文献

Saccharomyces cerevisiae expresses two proteins that together support high‐affinity Fe‐uptake. These are a multicopper oxidase, Fet3p, with specificity towards Fe2+ and a ferric iron permease, Ftr1p, which supports Fe‐accumulation. Homologues of the genes encoding these two proteins are found in all fungal genomes including those for the pathogens, Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. At least one of these loci represents a virulence factor for each pathogen suggesting that this complex would be an appropriate pharmacologic target. However, the mechanism by which this protein pair supports Fe‐uptake in any fungal pathogen has not been elucidated. Taking advantage of the robust molecular genetics available in S. cerevisiae, we identify the two of five candidate ferroxidases likely involved in high‐affinity Fe‐uptake in C. albicans, Fet31 and Fet34. Both localize to the yeast plasma membrane and both support Fe‐uptake along with an Ftr1 protein, either from C. albicans or from S. cerevisiae. We express and characterize Fet34, demonstrating that it is functionally homologous to ScFet3p. Using S. cerevisiae as host for the functional expression of the C. albicans Fe‐uptake proteins, we demonstrate that they support a mechanism of Fe‐trafficking that involves channelling of the CaFet34‐generated Fe3+ directly to CaFtr1 for transport into the cytoplasm. 相似文献

Glycosylation is essential to the maintenance of protein quality in the vesicular protein trafficking pathway in eukaryotic cells. Using the yeast multicopper oxidase, Fet3p, the hypothesis is tested that core glycosylation suppresses Fet3p nascent chain aggregation during synthesis into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Fet3p has 11 crystallographically mapped N‐linked core glycan units. Assembly of four of these units is specifically required for localization of Fet3p to the plasma membrane (PM). Fet3 protein lacking any one of these glycan units is found in an intracellular high‐molecular mass species resolvable by blue native gel electrophoresis. Individually, the remaining glycan moieties are not required for ER exit; however, serial deletion of these by N → A substitution correlates with these desglycan species failure to exit the ER. Desglycan Fet3 proteins that localize to the PM are wild type in function indicating that the missing carbohydrate is not required for native structure and biologic activity. This native function includes the interaction with the iron permease, Ftr1p, and wild type high‐affinity iron uptake activity. The four essential sequons are found within relatively nonpolar regions located in surface recesses and are strongly conserved among fungal Fet3 proteins. The remaining N‐linked sites are found in more surface exposed, less nonpolar environments, and their conservation is weak or absent. The data indicate that in Fet3p the N‐linked glycan has little effect on the enzyme's molecular activity but is critical to its cellular activity by maximizing the protein's exit from the ER and assembly into a functional iron uptake complex. 相似文献

Amajor function of the endocytic system is the sorting of cargo to various organelles. Endocytic sorting of the yeast reductive iron transporter, which is composed of the Fet3 and Ftr1 proteins, is regulated by available iron. When iron is provided to iron-starved cells, Fet3p–Ftr1p is targeted to the lysosome-like vacuole and degraded. In contrast, when iron is not available, Fet3p–Ftr1p is maintained on the plasma membrane via an endocytic recycling pathway requiring the sorting nexin Grd19/Snx3p, the pentameric retromer complex, and the Ypt6p Golgi Rab GTPase module. A recycling signal in Ftr1p was identified and found to bind directly to Grd19/Snx3p. Retromer and Grd19/Snx3p partially colocalize to tubular endosomes, where they are physically associated. After export from the endosome, Fet3p–Ftr1p transits through the Golgi apparatus for resecretion. Thus, Grd19/Snx3p, functions as a cargo-specific adapter for the retromer complex, establishing a precedent for a mechanism by which sorting nexins expand the repertoire of retromer-dependent cargos. 相似文献

Ferroxidase activity is required for the stability of cell surface ferroportin in cells expressing GPI-ceruloplasmin 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Ferroportin (Fpn), a ferrous iron Fe(II) transporter responsible for the entry of iron into plasma, is regulated post-translationally through internalization and degradation following binding of the hormone hepcidin. Cellular iron export is impaired in mice and humans with aceruloplasminemia, an iron overload disease due to mutations in the ferroxidase ceruloplasmin (Cp). In the absence of Cp Fpn is rapidly internalized and degraded. Depletion of extracellular Fe(II) by the yeast ferroxidase Fet3p or iron chelators can maintain cell surface Fpn in the absence of Cp. Iron remains bound to Fpn in the absence of multicopper oxidases. Fpn with bound iron is recognized by a ubiquitin ligase, which ubiquitinates Fpn on lysine 253. Mutation of lysine 253 to alanine prevents ubiquitination and maintains Fpn-iron on cell surface in the absence of ferroxidase activity. The requirement for a ferroxidase to maintain iron transport activity represents a new mechanism of regulating cellular iron export, a new function for Cp and an explanation for brain iron overload in patients with aceruloplasminemia. 相似文献

The metalloreductase Fre6p in Fe-efflux from the yeast vacuole 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The yeast vacuole is the storage depot for cellular iron. In this report we quantify the import-export balance in the vacuole because of the import of iron by Ccc1p and to export by the combined activity of Smf3p and the ferroxidase, permease pair of proteins, Fet5p and Fth1p. Our data indicate that the two efflux pathways are equally efficient in trafficking iron out of the vacuole. A major focus of this work was to identify the ferrireductase(s) that supplies the Fe(II) for efflux whether by Smf3p or the Fet5p-Fth1p complex. Using a combination of flameless atomic absorption spectrophotometry to quantify vacuolar and whole cell iron content and a reporter assay for cytoplasmic iron we demonstrate that Fre6p supplies Fe(II) to both efflux systems, while Fre7p plays no role in Fe-efflux from the vacuole. Enzymatic assay shows the two fusions to have similar reductase activity, however. Confocal fluorescence microscopy demonstrates that Fre6:GFP localizes to the vacuolar membrane; in contrast, Fre7:GFP fusions exhibit a variable and diffuse cellular distribution. Demonstrating a role for a vacuolar metalloreductase in Fe-efflux supports the model that iron is stored in the vacuole in the ferric state. 相似文献

Copper (Cu) and iron (Fe) are redox-active metals that serve as cofactors for many essential cellular enzymes. Disruption in the intracellular homeostasis of these metals results in debilitating and frequently fatal human disorders, such as Menkes disease and Friedreich’s ataxia. Recently, we reported that an investigational anticancer drug, elesclomol (ES), can deliver Cu to critical mitochondrial cuproenzymes and has the potential to be repurposed for the treatment of Cu deficiency disorders. Here, we sought to determine the specificity of ES and the ES-Cu complex in delivering Cu to cuproenzymes in different intracellular compartments. Using a combination of yeast genetics, subcellular fractionation, and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry–based metal measurements, we showed that ES and ES-Cu treatment results in an increase in cellular and mitochondrial Fe content, along with the expected increase in Cu. Using yeast mutants of Cu and Fe transporters, we demonstrate that ES-based elevation in cellular Fe levels is independent of the major cellular Cu importer but is dependent on the Fe importer Ftr1 and its partner Fet3, a multicopper oxidase. As Fet3 is metalated in the Golgi lumen, we sought to uncover the mechanism by which Fet3 receives Cu from ES. Using yeast knockouts of genes involved in Cu delivery to Fet3, we determined that ES can bypass Atx1, a metallochaperone involved in Cu delivery to the Golgi membrane Cu pump, Ccc2, but not Ccc2 itself. Taken together, our study provides a mechanism by which ES distributes Cu in cells and impacts cellular and mitochondrial Fe homeostasis. 相似文献

The yeast FET3 gene encodes an integral membrane multicopper oxidase required for high-affinity iron uptake. The FET4 gene encodes an Fe(II) transporter required for low-affinity uptake. To identify other yeast genes involved in iron uptake, we isolated genes that could, when overexpressed, suppress the iron-limited growth defect of a fet3 fet4 mutant. The FET5 gene was isolated in this screen and it encodes a multicopper oxidase closely related to Fet3p. Several observations indicate that Fet5p plays a role analogous to Fet3p in iron transport. Suppression of the fet3 fet4 mutant phenotype by FET5 overexpression required the putative FTR1 transporter subunit of the high-affinity system. Fet5p is an integral membrane protein whose oxidase domain is located on the cell surface or within an intracellular compartment. Oxidase activity measured in cells with altered levels of FET5 expression suggested that Fet5p is a functional oxidase. FET5 overexpression increased the rate of iron uptake by a novel uptake system. Finally, FET5 mRNA levels are regulated by iron and are increased in cells grown in iron-limited media. These results suggest that Fet5p normally plays a role in the transport of iron. 相似文献
