We have compared the size and shape of ferritins from human heart, rat heart, and skeletal muscle with those of rat liver and horse spleen ferritins, using sedimentation and gel filtration techniques. The electrophoretically "fast" form of heart ferritin was partially separated from both the "slow" heart form and from rat liver ferritin by gel filtration (Stokes radii 72 A versus 69 and 68.5 A)...
Increased iron levels and iron-mediated oxidative stress play an important role in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases. The finding that mutations in the ferritin light polypeptide (FTL) gene cause a neurodegenerative disease known as neuroferritinopathy or hereditary ferritinopathy (HF) provided a direct connection between abnormal brain iron storage and neurodegeneration. HF i...
In host-pathogen interactions, the struggle for iron may have major consequences on the outcome of the disease. To overcome the low solubility and bio-availability of iron, bacteria have evolved multiple systems to acquire iron from various sources such as heme, hemoglobin and ferritin. The molecular basis of iron acquisition from heme and hemoglobin have been extensively studied; however, very...
Vascular calcification is a frequent complication of atherosclerosis, diabetes and chronic kidney disease. In the latter group of patients, calcification is commonly seen in tunica media where smooth muscle cells (SMC) undergo osteoblastic transformation. Risk factors such as elevated phosphorus levels and vitamin D3 analogues have been identified. In the light of earlier observations by our gr...
Maxi-ferritins are ubiquitous iron-storage proteins with a common cage architecture made up of 24 identical subunits of five α-helices that drive iron biomineralization through catalytic iron(II) oxidation occurring at oxidoreductase sites (OS). Structures of iron-bound human H ferritin were solved at high resolution by freezing ferritin crystals at different time intervals after exposure to a ...
The ubiquitously expressed iron storage protein ferritin plays a central role in maintaining cellular iron homeostasis. Cytosolic ferritins are composed of heavy (H) and light (L) subunits that co-assemble into a hollow spherical shell with an internal cavity where iron is stored. The ferroxidase activity of the ferritin H chain is critical to store iron in its Fe3+ oxidation state, while the L...
BACKGROUND Mitochondrial ferritin is a nuclear encoded iron-storage protein localized in mitochondria. It has anti-oxidant properties related to its ferroxidase activity, and it is able to sequester iron avidly into the organelle. The protein has a tissue-specific pattern of expression and is also highly expressed in sideroblasts of patients affected by hereditary sideroblastic anemia and by re...
