Iron regulatory protein 2 as iron sensor. Iron-dependent oxidative modification of cysteine.
Iron regulatory protein 2 coordinates cellular regulation of iron metabolism by binding to iron responsive elements in mRNA. The protein is synthesized constitutively but is rapidly degraded when iron stores are replete. This iron-dependent degradation requires the presence of a 73-residue degradation domain, but its functions have not yet been established. We now show that the domain can act a...
متن کاملOxygen and iron regulation of iron regulatory protein 2.
Iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2) is a central regulator of cellular iron homeostasis due to its regulation of specific mRNAs encoding proteins of iron uptake and storage. Iron regulates IRP2 by mediating its rapid proteasomal degradation, where hypoxia and the hypoxia mimetics CoCl2 and desferrioxamine (DFO) stabilize it. Previous studies showed that iron-mediated degradation of IRP2 requires t...
متن کاملGenetic ablations of iron regulatory proteins 1 and 2 reveal why iron regulatory protein 2 dominates iron homeostasis.
The two iron regulatory proteins IRP1 and IRP2 bind to transcripts of ferritin, transferrin receptor and other target genes to control the expression of iron metabolism proteins at the post-transcriptional level. Here we compare the effects of genetic ablation of IRP1 to IRP2 in mice. IRP1-/- mice misregulate iron metabolism only in the kidney and brown fat, two tissues in which the endogenous ...
متن کاملIron regulates the intracellular degradation of iron regulatory protein 2 by the proteasome.
Iron regulatory proteins (IRP1 and IRP2) are RNA-binding proteins that bind to specific structures, termed iron-responsive elements (IREs), that are located in the 5'- or 3'-untranslated regions of mRNAs that encode proteins involved in iron homeostasis. IRP1 and IRP2 RNA binding activities are regulated by iron; IRP1 and IRP2 bind IREs with high affinity in iron-depleted cells and with low aff...
متن کاملVitamin A deficiency aggravates iron deficiency by upregulating the expression of iron regulatory protein-2.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the mechanism between vitamin A deficiency and anemia. METHODS In this study, we performed animal and in vitro experiments to investigate the effect of vitamin A deficiency on iron regulator protein-2 (IRP2). In animal experiments, four parallel groups of rats were fed a control diet, a diet completely deficient in vitamin A, a diet marginall...
