Biological iron-sulfur storage in a thioferrate-protein nanoparticle
Iron-sulfur clusters are ubiquitous in biology and function in electron transfer and catalysis. They are assembled from iron and cysteine sulfur on protein scaffolds. Iron is typically stored as iron oxyhydroxide, ferrihydrite, encapsulated in 12 nm shells of ferritin, which buffers cellular iron availability. Here we have characterized IssA, a protein that stores iron and sulfur as thioferrate...
متن کامل/iron-sulfur protein methyltransferase (MeTr)
The methyltetrahydrofolate:corrinoid/iron-sulfur protein methyltransferase (MeTr) enzyme was originally isolated from the acetogenic bacteria Moorella (formerly Clostridium) thermoaceticum [612]. This bacterium, as some other anaerobic organisms, can obtain its entire carbon and energy source from CO or H2/CO2 by the Wood-Ljungdahl or acetyl-CoA pathway [613-615]. Initially, CO2 is reduced to f...
متن کاملIron-sulfur-protein biogenesis in eukaryotes.
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters (ISCs) are versatile, ancient co-factors of proteins that are involved in electron transport, enzyme catalysis and regulation of gene expression. The synthesis of ISCs and their insertion into apoproteins involves the function of complex cellular machineries. In eukaryotes, the mitochondrial ISC-assembly machinery is involved in the maturation of all cellular iron-su...
متن کاملIron–Sulfur Models of Protein Active Sites
Iron–sulfur clusters appear in a great many proteins as both electron-transport and enzymatic sites (see Iron–Sulfur Proteins); for this reason there has been great interest for 30 years in the development and understanding of iron–sulfur model complexes. Both structure and properties of synthetic analogs of 1-, 2-, 3-, and 4-iron protein active sites have been studied extensively.1 This articl...
متن کاملInvestigation of the Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Effects on Amyloid Precursor Protein Processing in Hippocampal Cells
Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3-NPs) are small magnetic particles that widely used in different aspects of biology and medicine in modern life. Fe2O3-NP accumulated in the living cells due to absence of active system to excrete the iron ions so damages cellular organelles by highly reactivity. Method: Herein cytotoxic effects of Fe2O3-NP with 50 nm size were investigated on prima...
