Pirin is an iron-dependent redox regulator of NF-κB.
Pirin is a nuclear nonheme Fe protein of unknown function present in all human tissues. Here we describe that pirin may act as a redox sensor for the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) transcription factor, a critical mediator of intracellular signaling that has been linked to cellular responses to proinflammatory signals and controls the expression of a vast array of genes involved in immune and stress...
متن کاملDesign of peptides interfering with iron-dependent regulator (IdeR) and evaluation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth inhibition
Objective(s): Tuberculosis (TB), a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), stayed a global health thread with high mortality rate. Since TB has a long-term treatment, it leads high risk of drug resistant development, and there is an urgent to find new drugs. The aim of this study was designing new inhibitors for a new drug target, iron dependent regulator, IdeR. Materials and Method...
متن کاملCharacterization of MtsR, a new metal regulator in group A streptococcus, involved in iron acquisition and virulence.
Group A streptococcus (GAS) is a common pathogen of the human skin and mucosal surfaces capable of producing a variety of diseases. In this study, we investigated regulation of iron uptake in GAS and the role of a putative transcriptional regulator named MtsR (for Mts repressor) with homology to the DtxR family of metal-dependent regulatory proteins. An mtsR mutant was constructed in NZ131 (M49...
متن کاملFunctional studies of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis iron-dependent regulator.
The iron-dependent regulator (IdeR) protein in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, and its better characterized homologue, the diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR) from Corynebacterium diphtheriae, are iron-dependent regulatory proteins that control gene expression in response to iron availability in bacteria. IdeR regulates several genes required for iron uptake and storage including those involved in th...
متن کاملHeme is an effector molecule for iron-dependent degradation of the bacterial iron response regulator (Irr) protein.
The bacterial iron response regulator (Irr) protein mediates iron-dependent regulation of heme biosynthesis. Pulse-chase and immunoprecipitation experiments showed that Irr degraded in response to 6 microM iron with a half-life of approximately 30 min and that this regulated stability was the principal determinant of control by iron. Irr contains a heme regulatory motif (HRM) near its amino ter...
