tonB-independent ferrichrome-mediated iron transport in Escherichia coli spheroplasts.
Although a functional tonB gene product was required for ferrichrome-mediated iron transport in whole cells of Escherichia coli K-12, such transport did not require the tonB+ function in spheroplasts. We suggest that in spheroplasts ferrichrome has direct access to the cytoplasmic membrane and that this is reflected in tonB-independent accumulation of ferrichrome iron. Therefore, the tonB gene ...
متن کاملIdentification of ferrichrome- and ferrioxamine B-mediated iron uptake by Aspergillus fumigatus.
Aspergillus fumigatus is an opportunistic fungal pathogen for immunocompromised patients, and genes involved in siderophore metabolism have been identified as virulence factors. Recently, we identified the membrane transporters sit1 and sit2, which are putative virulence factors of A. fumigatus; sit1 and sit2 are homologous to yeast Sit1, and sit1 and sit2 gene expression was up-regulated after...
متن کاملFerrioxamine-mediated Iron(III) utilization by Salmonella enterica.
Utilization of ferrioxamines as sole sources of iron distinguishes Salmonella enterica serotypes Typhimurium and Enteritidis from a number of related species, including Escherichia coli. Ferrioxamine supplements have therefore been used in preenrichment and selection media to increase the bacterial growth rate while selectivity is maintained. We characterized the determinants involved in utiliz...
متن کاملFerrioxamine excretion in iron-loaded man.
D ESFERRIOXAMINE (DF) is currently the most eflective chelator available for the treatment of iron overload in man.’2 Intramuscular injections reduce the rate of iron accumulation and have been shown to arrest the progress of hepatic fibrosis in children with transfusion-dependent thalassemia.3 However, used in this fashion, the drug removes a limited amount of iron, and there has been extensiv...
متن کاملFerrioxamine iron in rabbit reticulocyte heme synthesis.
By M. D. GERLANC, E. J. ZAPOLSKJ, M. Rurnr r AND J. V. Pm aorro P ESFERRIOXAMINE, the sideramine of the Actinomyces, is a potent chelator of ferric iron.1’2 It is believed that all aerobic organisms produce sideramines which function as specific iron donors ( coenzymes ) for the iron incorporating enzyme of the heme synthesis.a.4 I,, light of the role of ferrioxanlines in henle synthesis in mic...
