Siderophores: More than Stealing Iron
Siderophores are small molecular iron chelators that are produced by microbes and whose most notable function is to sequester iron from the host and provide this essential metal nutrient to microbes. Recent studies have proposed additional, noncanonical roles for siderophores, including the acquisition of noniron metals and modulation of host functions. Recently, Holden et al. (V. I. Holden, P....
متن کاملAnemia after bariatric surgery: more than just iron deficiency.
Bariatric surgery for morbid obesity is rapidly gaining popularity. Restrictive and/or malabsorptive surgical interventions result in dramatic weight loss with significantly decreased obesity-related morbidity and mortality. Anemia, which may affect as many as two-thirds of these patients, is of concern and generally thought to be caused by iron deficiency. Although iron deficiency in this popu...
متن کاملBeyond iron: non-classical biological functions of bacterial siderophores.
Bacteria secrete small molecules known as siderophores to acquire iron from their surroundings. For over 60 years, investigations into the bioinorganic chemistry of these molecules, including fundamental coordination chemistry studies, have provided insight into the crucial role that siderophores play in bacterial iron homeostasis. The importance of understanding the fundamental chemistry under...
متن کاملKinetics of iron acquisition from ferric siderophores by Paracoccus denitrificans.
The kinetics of iron accumulation by iron-starved Paracoccus denitrificans during the first 2 min of exposure to 55Fe-labeled ferric siderophore chelates is described. Iron is acquired from the ferric chelate of the natural siderophore L-parabactin in a process exhibiting biphastic kinetics by Lineweaver-Burk analysis. The kinetic data for 1 microM less than [Fe L-parabactin] less than 10 micro...
متن کاملCarbohydrate functionalized iron(III) complexes as biomimetic siderophores.
Catechol functionalized iron(III) glycodendrimers have been prepared using a self-assembly process for targeting a specific strain of E. coli bacteria and have been shown to exhibit carbohydrate-lectin mediated iron delivery in growth promotion assay.
