Neurological development and functioning of dopamine (DA) neurotransmission is adversely affected by iron deficiency in early life. Iron-deficient rats demonstrate significant elevations in extracellular DA and a reduction in dopamine transporter (DAT) densities in the caudate putamen and nucleus accumbens. To explore possible mechanisms by which cellular iron concentrations control DAT functioning, endogenous DAT-expressing PC12 cells were used to determine the effect of iron chelation on DAT protein and mRNA expression patterns. In addition, we used human DAT (hDAT)-transfected Neuro2a (N2A) cells to examine DAT degradation and trafficking patterns. A 50 microM treatment for 24 h with the iron chelator, desferrioxamine (DFO), significantly decreased dopamine uptake in a dose-dependent manner, with no apparent change in K(m), in both PC12 and N2A cells. Reduced DA uptake was accompanied by concentration- and time-dependent reductions in total DAT protein levels in both cell lines. Exposure to increasing concentrations of DFO did not significantly alter DAT mRNA in either PC12 or N2A cells. However, DAT degradation rates increased three-fivefold in both cell types exposed to 50 microM DFO for 24 h. Biotinylation studies in N2A cells indicate a more dramatic loss of DAT in the membrane fraction, while OptiPrep fractionation experiments revealed an increase in lysosomal DAT with iron chelation. Inhibition of protein kinase C activation with staurosporin prevented the effect of iron chelation on DAT function, suggesting that in vitro iron chelation affects DAT primarily through the effects on trafficking rather than on synthesis. 相似文献

Molecular mechanisms of plant metal tolerance and homeostasis 总被引:68,自引:0,他引:68
Transition metals such as copper are essential for many physiological processes yet can be toxic at elevated levels. Other
metals (e.g. lead) are nonessential and potentially highly toxic. Plants – like all other organisms – possess homeostatic
mechanisms to maintain the correct concentrations of essential metal ions in different cellular compartments and to minimize
the damage from exposure to nonessential metal ions. A regulated network of metal transport, chelation, trafficking and sequestration
activities functions to provide the uptake, distribution and detoxification of metal ions. Some of the components of this
network have now been identified: a number of uptake transporters have been cloned as well as candidate transporters for the
vacuolar sequestration of metals. Chelators and chaperones are known, and evidence for intracellular metal trafficking is
emerging. This recent progress in the molecular understanding of plant metal homeostasis and tolerance is reviewed.

Effect of iron chelators on the transferrin receptor in K562 cells 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16
Delivery of iron to K562 cells by diferric transferrin involves a cycle of binding to surface receptors, internalization into an acidic compartment, transfer of iron to ferritin, and release of apotransferrin from the cell. To evaluate potential feedback effects of iron on this system, we exposed cells to iron chelators and monitored the activity of the transferrin receptor. In the present study, we found that chelation of extracellular iron by the hydrophilic chelators desferrioxamine B, diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, or apolactoferrin enhanced the release from the cells of previously internalized 125I-transferrin. Presaturation of these compounds with iron blocked this effect. These chelators did not affect the uptake of iron from transferrin. In contrast, the hydrophobic chelator 2,2-bipyridine, which partitions into cell membranes, completely blocked iron uptake by chelating the iron during its transfer across the membrane. The 2,2-bipyridine did not, however, enhance the release of 125I-transferrin from the cells, indicating that extracellular iron chelation is the key to this effect. Desferrioxamine, unlike the other hydrophilic chelators, can enter the cell and chelate an intracellular pool of iron. This produced a parallel increase in surface and intracellular transferrin receptors, reaching 2-fold at 24 h and 3-fold at 48 h. This increase in receptor number required ongoing protein synthesis and could be blocked by cycloheximide. Diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid or desferrioxamine presaturated with iron did not induce new transferrin receptors. The new receptors were functionally active and produced an increase in 59Fe uptake from 59Fe-transferrin. We conclude that the transferrin receptor in the K562 cell is regulated in part by chelatable iron: chelation of extracellular iron enhances the release of apotransferrin from the cell, while chelation of an intracellular iron pool results in the biosynthesis of new receptors. 相似文献

Molecular genetics of fungal siderophore biosynthesis and uptake: the role of siderophores in iron uptake and storage 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Haas H 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》2003,62(4):316-330
To acquire iron, all species have to overcome the problems of iron insolubility and toxicity. In response to low iron availability in the environment, most fungi excrete ferric iron-specific chelators--siderophores--to mobilize this metal. Siderophore-bound iron is subsequently utilized via the reductive iron assimilatory system or uptake of the siderophore-iron complex. Furthermore, most fungi possess intracellular siderophores as iron storage compounds. Molecular analysis of siderophore biosynthesis was initiated by pioneering studies on the basidiomycete Ustilago maydis, and has progressed recently by characterization of the relevant structural and regulatory genes in the ascomycetes Aspergillus nidulans and Neurospora crassa. In addition, significant advances in the understanding of utilization of siderophore-bound iron have been made recently in the yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans as well as in the filamentous fungus A. nidulans. The present review summarizes molecular details of fungal siderophore biosynthesis and uptake, and the regulatory mechanisms involved in control of the corresponding genes. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that sugars enhance iron bioavailability, possibly through either chelation or altering the oxidation state of the metal, however, results have been inconclusive. Sugar intake in the last 20 years has increased dramatically, and iron status disorders are significant public health problems worldwide; therefore understanding the nutritional implications of iron-sugar interactions is particularly relevant. In this study we measured the effects of sugars on non-heme iron bioavailability in human intestinal Caco-2 cells and HepG2 hepatoma cells using ferritin formation as a surrogate marker for iron uptake. The effect of sugars on iron oxidation state was examined by measuring ferrous iron formation in different sugar-iron solutions with a ferrozine-based assay. Fructose significantly increased iron-induced ferritin formation in both Caco-2 and HepG2 cells. In addition, high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS-55) increased Caco-2 cell iron-induced ferritin; these effects were negated by the addition of either tannic acid or phytic acid. Fructose combined with FeCl3 increased ferrozine-chelatable ferrous iron levels by approximately 300%. In conclusion, fructose increases iron bioavailability in human intestinal Caco-2 and HepG2 cells. Given the large amount of simple and rapidly digestible sugars in the modern diet their effects on iron bioavailability may have important patho-physiological consequences. Further studies are warranted to characterize these interactions. 相似文献

We recently reported that loss of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase-2 (CAMKK2), a serine/threonine kinase activated by intracellular calcium, in mice leads to tissue-specific aberrant turnover of transferrin (TF), a receptor-mediated iron-transporter that supplies iron to tissues. Iron dyshomeostasis is associated with the pathogenesis of several diseases, making TF transport relevant to health. In this study, we used hemizygous CAMKK2 hypomorphic human endothelial cell (EA.hy926) clones to demonstrate that cells with reduced CAMKK2 exhibit increased TF uptake and transcytosis, and decreased intracellular trafficking to subcellular organelles compared to wild-type. The abnormal TF trafficking in CAMKK2 hypomorphic cells correlated with a reduction in intracellular iron content and defective glucose metabolism including glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration. CAMKK2 deficiency also caused reduction in GAPDH and VDAC1 protein level which correlated to defective bioenergetics function. These findings have identified a novel mechanistic link between abnormal calcium signaling, iron dyshomeostasis and metabolic dysfunction involving CAMKK2. 相似文献

Ecology of siderophores, as described in the present review, analyzes the factors that allow the production and function of
siderophores under various environmental conditions. Microorganisms that excrete siderophores are able to grow in natural
low-iron environments by extracting residual iron from insoluble iron hydroxides, protein-bound iron or from other iron chelates.
Compared to the predominantly mobile bacteria, the fungi represent mostly immobile microorganisms that rely on local nutrient
concentrations. Feeding the immobile is a general strategy of fungi and plants, which depend on the local nutrient resources.
This also applies to iron nutrition, which can be improved by excretion of siderophores. Most fungi produce a variety of different
siderophores, which cover a wide range of physico-chemical properties in order to overcome adverse local conditions of iron
solubility. Resource zones will be temporally and spatially dynamic which eventually results in conidiospore production, transport
to new places and outgrow of mycelia from conidiospores. Typically, extracellular and intracellular siderophores exist in
fungi which function either in transport or storage of ferric iron. Consequently, extracelluar and intracellular reduction
of siderophores may occur depending on the fungal strain, although in most fungi transport of the intact siderophore iron
complex has been observed. Regulation of siderophore biosynthesis is essential in fungi and allows an economic use of siderophores
and metabolic resources. Finally, the chemical stability of fungal siderophores is an important aspect of microbial life in
soil and in the rhizosphere. Thus, insolubility of iron in the environment is counteracted by dissolution and chelation through
organic acids and siderophores by various fungi. 相似文献

To acquire iron, Pseudomonas aeruginosa secretes a major fluorescent siderophore, pyoverdine (PvdI), that chelates iron and shuttles it into the cells via the specific outer membrane transporter, FpvAI. We took advantage of the fluorescence properties of PvdI and its metal chelates as well as the efficient FRET between donor tryptophans in FpvAI and PvdI to follow the fate of the siderophore during iron uptake. Our findings with PvdI-Ga and PvdI-Cr uptake indicate that iron reduction is required for the dissociation of PvdI-Fe, that a ligand exchange for iron occurs, and that this dissociation occurs in the periplasm. We also observed a delay between PvdI-Fe dissociation and the rebinding of PvdI to FpvAI, underlining the kinetic independence of metal release and siderophore recycling. Meanwhile, PvdI is not modified but recycled to the medium, still competent for iron chelation and transport. Finally, in vivo fluorescence microscopy revealed patches of PvdI, suggesting that uptake occurs via macromolecular assemblies on the cell surface. 相似文献

The early redox events involved in iron reduction and mobilization in mammalian ferritin have been investigated by several techniques. Sedimentation velocity measurements of ferritin samples with altered core sizes, prepared by partial reduction and Fe2+ chelation, suggest two different events occur during iron loss from the ferritin core. Reductive optical titrations confirm this biphasic behavior by showing that the first 20-30% of core reduction has different optical properties than the latter 70-80%. Proton uptake during initial core reduction is near zero, but as the percent core reduction increases, the proton uptake (H+/e) values increase to 2 H+/e (2 H+/Fe3+ reduced) as core reduction approaches 1 e/Fe3+. Coulometric reduction of ferritin by mediators of different redox potential and different cross-sectional areas show a two-phase sigmoidal reaction pattern in which initial core reduction occurs at a slower rate than later core reduction. The above experiments were all conducted in the absence of iron chelators so that the observed results were all attributed to core reduction rather than the combined effects of core reduction accompanied by Fe2+ chelation. The coulometric reduction of ferritin by various mediators shows a correlation more with reduction potential than with molecular cross-sectional area. The role of the ferritin channels in core reduction is considered in terms of the reported results. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The molecular mechanisms by which iron is physiologically transported trough the cellular membranes are still only partially understood. Several studies indicate that a reduction step of ferric iron to ferrous is necessary, both in the case of transferrin-mediated and transferrin-independent iron uptake. Recent studies from our laboratory described gamma-glutamyltransferase activity (GGT) as a factor capable to effect iron reduction in the cell microenvironment. GGT is located on the outer aspect of plasma membrane of most cell types, and is often expressed at high levels in malignant tumors and their metastases. The present study was aimed at verifying the possibility that GGT-mediated iron reduction may participate in the process of cellular iron uptake. RESULTS: Four distinct human tumor cell lines, exhibiting different levels of GGT activity, were studied. The uptake of transferrin-bound iron was investigated by using 55Fe-loaded transferrin, as well as by monitoring fluorimetrically the intracellular iron levels in calcein-preloaded cells. Transferrin-independent iron uptake was investigated using 55Fe complexed by nitrilotriacetic acid (55Fe-NTA complex).The stimulation of GGT activity, by administration to cells of the substrates glutathione and glycyl-glycine, was generally reflected in a facilitation of transferrin-bound iron uptake. The extent of such facilitation was correlated with the intrinsic levels of the enzyme present in each cell line. Accordingly, inhibition of GGT activity by means of two independent inhibitors, acivicin and serine/boric acid complex, resulted in a decreased uptake of transferrin-bound iron. With Fe-NTA complex, the inhibitory effect - but not the stimulatory one - was also observed. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that membrane GGT can represent a facilitating factor in iron uptake by GGT-expressing cancer cells, thus providing them with a selective growth advantage over clones that do not possess the enzyme. 相似文献

Transferrin as a donor of iron to mitochondria. Effect of pyrophosphate and relationship to mitochondrial metabolism and heme synthesis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rat liver mitochondria accumulate iron mobilized from transferrin by pyrophosphate. The uptake has a very low energy dependence, but it is highly dependent on a functioning respiratory chain. Reduction of the ferric-iron-pyrophosphate complex is not linked to any specific respiratory complex. Half of the amount of iron accumulated is passed into heme. Iron once accumulated is very little accessible to chelation by added ferric or ferrous iron chelators. Iron uptake and heme synthesis are maximal if a suitable porphyrin substrate is added simultaneously with iron. The results represent further evidence that pyrophosphate is a possible candidate for intracellular iron transport. Also, the results suggest that iron uptake is coupled to simultaneous porphyrin uptake and heme synthesis. 相似文献

Uptake studies with [14C]picolinate and 55Fe3+ have provided an explanation for the change in streptonigrin killing on adaptation of Escherichia coli to picolinate, in terms of the available iron within the cell. When picolinic acid is added to a growing culture of E. coli an interval of bacteriostasis ensues; this adaptation period is followed by resumption of exponential growth. Addition of picolinate (4 mM) to a log phase culture of strain W3110 gave protection from the lethal action of streptonigrin (30 microM) when the two agents were added simultaneously. In contrast streptonigrin killed cells that had adapted to picolinate; however, a preincubation of adapted W3110 with phenethyl alcohol protected the cells from streptonigrin lethality. [14C]Picolinate uptake studies showed that initially picolinate entered the cells, but that it was excluded from adapted cells; addition of phenethyl alcohol permitted the entry of picolinate into adapted W3110. The changes in streptonigrin killing parallel the changes in concentration of intracellular picolinate, which can chelate the iron required by streptonigrin for its bactericidal action. 55Fe3+ uptake studies showed that initially picolinate prevented iron accumulation by strain W3110, whereas adapted cells did take up iron in the presence of picolinate. Addition of phenethyl alcohol prevented any observed uptake of iron by adapted W3110. This modulation of iron transport by picolinate also affects streptonigrin lethality. Experiments with iron transport mutants showed that picolinate acted on both the enterochelin and citrate routes of uptake. Therefore picolinate affects the concentration of available iron within the cell both by (a) its intracellular presence resulting in chelation of iron and (b) its action on iron uptake; these effects explain the change in streptonigrin killing on adaptation of E. coli to picolinate. 相似文献

Iron chlorosis is very common on alkaline soils such as calcareous ones, since iron availability is limited by high pH. Under these conditions of iron deficiency, graminaceous plant species induce special mechanisms for iron acquisition, involving enhanced release of iron chelators called phytosiderophores. On the other hand, it is known that most of salt soils have alkaline pH. So, plants growing on this kind of soils are often subjected simultaneously to salinity and iron deficiency. This work aimed at (i) studying the physiological responses of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) to iron deficiency, and (ii) evaluating the effect of salt on the iron nutrition and the phytosiderophore release. For this purpose, seedlings of Hordeum vulgare L. were cultivated under controlled conditions, either in a complete nutrient solution with or without NaCl, or in an iron free nutrient solution containing or not NaCl. The plant morphological aspect, chlorophyll content of young leaves, iron status, biomass production, and phytosiderophore release by roots were assessed. Plants subjected to Fe deficiency exhibited a severe chlorosis, accompanied by a significant biomass reduction. These plants developed more lateral roots than the control with a highly stimulated phytosiderophore release. However, the latter was greatly diminished when iron deficiency was associated to salinity. A depressive effect of salt on iron acquisition in plants subjected only to salt stress which was also observed and further confirmed by the important decrease of efficiency in iron acquisition. These results suggest that salinity may reduce capacity of plants to acquire iron from alkaline soils by inhibiting phytosiderophore release. 相似文献

Plants adopt various strategies to fulfill their nitrogen nutrition requirement, the most important being the uptake of nitrate from the soil and its subsequent assimilation in to amino acids. The uptake of nitrate is energy dependent and is an active process involving high affinity and low affinity transport systems. The net uptake of the anion depends upon both influx as well as on its passive efflux. When the uptake far exceeds over its assimilation in the plant, there is considerable accumulation of nitrate in the plant parts making them unfit for human and cattle consumption. Various environmental factors affect the uptake and accumulation of nitrate, which along with the genetic component of the plant affecting the net uptake and accumulation of the nitrate, need to be considered and carefully manipulated for effective nitrogen management in the plant, soil and aquatic environment. 相似文献

The established process for iron uptake into mammalian cells involves transferrin and its receptor. Here, the role of the glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked transferrin homologue, melanotransferrin or p97, was studied using CHO cell lines defective in the transferrin receptor (TR) and transfected with human TR and/or human p97. The presence of p97 doubled the iron uptake, which could be explained by the binding of one atom of iron to one molecule of p97. The internalization of iron was shown to be temperature sensitive and saturated at a media iron concentration of 2.5 micrograms/ml with a Vmax of 0.1 pmol Fe/10(6) cell/min and a Km of 2.58 microM for p97. Treatment of the cells with either phosphatidylinositol-phospholipase C or monoclonal antibodies against p97 resulted in over a 50% reduction and a 47% increase in the iron uptake respectively. These data identify p97 as a unique cell surface GPI-anchored, iron binding protein involved in the transferrin-independent uptake of iron in mammals. 相似文献

Recent insights into iron import by bacteria 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Bacteria are confronted with a low availability of iron owing to its insolubility in the Fe3+ form or its being bound to host proteins. The bacteria cope with the iron deficiency by using host heme or siderophores synthesized by themselves or other microbes. In contrast to most other nutrients, iron compounds are tightly bound to proteins at the cell surfaces, from which they are further translocated by highly specific proteins across the cell wall of gram-positive bacteria and the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. Once heme and iron siderophores arrive at the cytoplasmic membrane, they are taken up across the cytoplasmic membrane by ABC transporters. Here we present an outline of bacterial heme and iron siderophore transport exemplified by a few selected cases in which recent progress in the understanding of the transport mechanisms has been achieved. 相似文献

The ubiquitously expressed phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly (PICALM) protein associates with the plasma membrane, binds clathrin, and plays a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Alterations of the human PICALM gene are present in aggressive hematopoietic malignancies, and genome-wide association studies have recently linked the PICALM locus to late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Inactivating and hypomorphic Picalm mutations in mice cause different degrees of severity of anemia, abnormal iron metabolism, growth retardation and shortened lifespan. To understand PICALM's function, we studied the consequences of PICALM overexpression and characterized PICALM-deficient cells derived from mutant fit1 mice. Our results identify a role for PICALM in transferrin receptor (TfR) internalization and demonstrate that the C-terminal PICALM residues are critical for its association with clathrin and for the inhibitory effect of PICALM overexpression on TfR internalization. Murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) that are deficient in PICALM display several characteristics of iron deficiency (increased surface TfR expression, decreased intracellular iron levels, and reduced cellular proliferation), all of which are rescued by retroviral PICALM expression. The proliferation defect of cells that lack PICALM results, at least in part, from insufficient iron uptake, since it can be corrected by iron supplementation. Moreover, PICALM-deficient cells are particularly sensitive to iron chelation. Taken together, these data reveal that PICALM plays a critical role in iron homeostasis, and offer new perspectives into the pathogenesis of PICALM-associated diseases. 相似文献

Iron uptake by Chang liver cells in culture is about thirty times as great when ferric nitriloacetate is used as a donor as when iron-transferrin is used. Iron uptake from ferric citrate is no greater than from iron-transferrin. Most of the intracellular iron derived from transferrin is found in the supernatant after 20 000 × g centrifugation of the cell homogenate for 40 min: about half of this is in the form of ferritin. Iron derived from ferric nitriloacetate is found largley in the membranous pellet after centrifugation and very little of this is in the form of ferritin.Iron incorporated in cytosol ferritin is easily available for chelation by desferrioxamine and this process is facilitated by ascorbic acid. Membrane-bound iron is less available for chelation. This tissue culture model forms a convenient basis for the study of iron overlead and iron chelation. 相似文献
