Reciprocal control of RNA-binding and aconitase activity in the regulation of the iron-responsive element binding protein: role of the iron-sulfur cluster.
Several mechanisms of posttranscriptional gene regulation are involved in regulation of the expression of essential proteins of iron metabolism. Coordinate regulation of ferritin and transferrin receptor expression is produced by binding of a cytosolic protein, the iron-responsive element binding protein (IRE-BP) to specific stem-loop structures present in target RNAs. The affinity of this prot...
متن کاملIron regulates cytoplasmic levels of a novel iron-responsive element-binding protein without aconitase activity.
Iron-responsive element-binding proteins (IRE-BPs) are cytosolic proteins that bind to a conserved RNA stem-loop, termed the iron-responsive element (IRE), that is located in the 5'- or 3'-untranslated regions of mRNAs involved in iron metabolism. Binding of the IRE-BP to 5'-IREs represses translation, whereas binding to 3'-IREs stabilizes the mRNA. The previously identified IRE-BP (BP1) contai...
متن کاملModification of a free Fe-S cluster cysteine residue in the active iron-responsive element-binding protein prevents RNA binding.
The iron-responsive element-binding protein (IRE-BP) binds to specific RNA stem-loop structures called iron-responsive elements (IREs), which mediate the post-transcriptional regulation of a variety of genes involved in iron metabolism. The IRE-BP is cytosolic aconitase, and a [4Fe-4S] cubane cluster is required for aconitase activity but is associated with loss of IRE binding affinity. Chemica...

Glycyrrhizin(GL), is a triterpenoid saponin found in glychyrrhiza glabra (liquorice). This compound is a frequently used and very effective drug for the treatment of various malignancies. This study was designed to examine the interactions of glycyrrhizin with calf thymus DNA in aqueous solution at physiological conditions. FTIR spectroscopic method was used to determine the ligand binding mode...
متن کاملThe iron-responsive element binding protein: a method for the affinity purification of a regulatory RNA-binding protein.
A method of affinity purification of a regulatory protein that binds specific RNA sequences is described. RNAs containing the regulatory sequences are transcribed in vitro from oligonucleotide templates, biotinylated, and incubated with unfractionated cytosol. Specific RNA-protein complexes are bound in solution to avidin, and the resulting complex is bound to biotin-agarose beads. The cytosoli...
