Abstract:
Iron makes up 35% of the Earth's mass, and is plentiful in its crust (approximately 5%), so it is not surprising that Biology has found many different applications for it. Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are essential, ubiquitous inorganic cofactors in electron-transport proteins of respiration and photosynthesis, and are responsible for the activity of hundreds of enzymes1. Various types of clusters (Figure 1) occur in iron-sulfur proteins, bound covalently to protein ligands, usually cysteine sulfur. Their activity is not confined to oxidation/reduction; in enzymes such as aconitase, they are involved in substrate binding and conversion. Fe–S enzymes that catalyse difficult reactions, such as nitrogenase in nitrogen fixation and hydrogenase in hydrogen production, contain complex ‘superclusters’2.

Abstract:
The siderophore salmochelin is produced under iron-poor conditions by Salmonella and many uropathogenic Escherichia coli strains. The production of salmochelin, a C-glucosylated enterobactin, is dependent on the synthesis of enterobactin and the iroBCDEN gene cluster. An E. coli IroD protein with an N-terminal His-tag cleaved cyclic salmochelin S4 to the linear trimer salmochelin S2, the dimer salmochelin S1, and the monomers dihydroxybenzoylserine and C-glucosylated dihydroxybenzoylserine (salmochelin SX, pacifarinic acid). The periplasmic IroE protein was purified as a MalE–IroE fusion protein. This enzyme degraded salmochelin S4 and ferric-salmochelin S4 to salmochelin S2 and ferric-salmochelin S2, respectively. In E. coli, uptake of ferric-salmochelin S4 was dependent on the cleavage by IroE, and independent of the FepBDGC ABC transporter in the cytoplasmic membrane. IroC, which has similarities to ABC-multidrug-resistance proteins, was necessary for the uptake of salmochelin S2 from the periplasm into the cytoplasm. IroE did not function as a classical binding protein since salmochelin S2 was taken up in the absence of a functional IroE protein. IroC mediated the uptake of iron via enterobactin in a fepB mutant. IroE was also necessary in this case for the uptake of ferric-enterobactin, which indicated that only the linear degradation products of enterobactin were taken up via IroC. PfeE, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa IroE homologue, was cloned, and its enzymic activity was shown to be very similar to that of IroE. It is suggested that homologues in other bacteria are also periplasmic IroE-type esterases of siderophores.

Abstract:
The capacity of readily exchanging electrons makes iron not only essential for fundamental cell functions, but also a potential catalyst for chemical reactions involving free-radical formation and subsequent oxidative stress and cell damage. Cellular iron levels are therefore carefully regulated in order to maintain an adequate substrate while also minimizing the pool of potentially toxic ‘free iron’. Iron homoeostasis is controlled through several genes, an increasing number of which have been found to contain non-coding sequences [i.e. the iron-responsive elements (IREs)] which are recognized at the mRNA level by two cytoplasmic iron-regulatory proteins (IRP-1 and IRP-2). The IRPs belong to the aconitase superfamily. By means of an Fe-S-cluster-dependent switch, IRP-1 can function as an mRNA-binding protein or as an enzyme that converts citrate into isocitrate. Although structurally and functionally similar to IRP-1, IRP-2 does not seem to assemble a cluster nor to possess aconitase activity; moreover, it has a distinct pattern of tissue expression and is modulated by means of proteasome-mediated degradation. In response to fluctuations in the level of the ‘labile iron pool’, IRPs act as key regulators of cellular iron homoeostasis as a result of the translational control of the expression of a number of iron metabolism-related genes. Conversely, various agents and conditions may affect IRP activity, thereby modulating iron and oxygen radical levels in different pathobiological settings. As the number of mRNAs regulated through IRE–IRP interactions keeps growing, the definition of IRPs as iron-regulatory proteins may in the near future become limiting as their role expands to other essential metabolic pathways.

Abstract:
Identification of outer membrane proteins (OMPs) is important to understand the bacteria structure and function, host-pathogen interaction, development of novel vaccine candidates, and diagnostic antigens. But till now the key antigens ofP. multocidaB:2 isolate causing haemorrhagic septicaemia (HS) in animals are not clearly defined. In this study, P52 strain ofP. multocidaserotype B:2 was grownin vitrounder iron-rich and iron-limited condition. The OMPs were extracted by sarkosyl method followed by SDS-PAGE and the proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF/MS analysis. In total, 22 proteins were identified, of which 7 were observed exclusively under iron-limited condition. Most of the high molecular weight proteins (TbpA, HgbA, HgbB, HasR, IroA, and HemR) identified in this study were involved in iron acquisition. Some hypothetical proteins (HP-KCU-10206, HP and AAUPMB 08244, HP AAUPMB 21592, HP AAUPMB 19766, AAUPMB 11295) were observed for the first time in this study which could be unique to serotype B:2. Further functionalin vivostudy of the proteins identified are required to explore the utility of these proteins in developing diagnostics and vaccine against HS.

Abstract:
Repair of Iron Center proteins (RIC) form a family of di-iron proteins that are widely spread in the microbial world. RICs contain a binuclear nonheme iron site in a four-helix bundle fold, two basic features of hemerythrin-like proteins. In this work, we review the data on microbial RICs including how their genes are regulated and contribute to the survival of pathogenic bacteria. We gathered the currently available biochemical, spectroscopic and structural data on RICs with a particular focus on Escherichia coli RIC (also known as YtfE), which remains the best-studied protein with extensive biochemical characterization. Additionally, we present novel structural data for Escherichia coli YtfE harboring a di-manganese site and the protein’s affinity for this metal. The networking of protein interactions involving YtfE is also described and integrated into the proposed physiological role as an iron donor for reassembling of stress-damaged iron-sulfur centers.

Abstract:
Yersinia enterocolitica 1165 (0:8) expressed several iron-regulated proteins with molecular masses of 240, 194, 80, 79, 70, and 67 kDa. These proteins were not detected in cells grown in iron-rich conditions. Cell surface iodination indicated that the 240- and 190-kDa proteins (HMWPs) were not surface exposed, whereas the 67- and 70-kDa proteins appeared to be exposed to the cell surface. Incubation with iron protected the 67- and 70-kDa proteins from proteinase K treatment, suggesting that they may be involved in iron acquisition. Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) were produced against the HMWPs and the 67-kDa iron-regulated protein. MAbs to the HMWPs not only recognized the 240- and 194-kDa proteins but also reacted with the 67- and 70-kDa iron-regulated proteins. Similarly, MAbs to the 67-kDa protein reacted with the 67- and 70-kDa proteins and the HMWPs, suggesting that these iron-regulated proteins are related immunologically. In addition, the MAbs recognized the 67- and 70-kDa proteins and HMWPs from other Y. enterocolitica serotypes, suggesting that the antigenic sites recognized on these iron-regulated proteins are conserved. The MAbs examined did not inhibit iron binding or iron uptake and did not provide protection against a Y. enterocolitica 1165 (0:8) infection in a systemic mouse infection model. Although these MAbs were not protective in this model, these iron-regulated proteins may play a role in iron acquisition and virulence, but the MAbs examined are probably not directed against epitopes involved in iron acquisition or virulence.Key words: Yersinia enterocolitica, monoclonal antibodies, iron-regulated proteins.

Abstract:
Abstract Abstract SCI-22 Imbalances of iron homeostasis account for some of the most common human diseases. Pathologies can result from both iron deficiency or overload. The hepcidin/ferroportin and the IRE/IRP regulatory systems balance systemic and cellular iron metabolism, respectively, and understanding their points of intersection and crosstalk represents a major challenge in iron biology. I will discuss an emerging picture from studies with different mutant mouse lines according to which the “cellular” IRE/IRP system determines “set points” via its targets (including ferroportin and HIF2α). These are then subject to modulation via hepcidin in response to systemic cues. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:
Spirochetes are suspected to be linked to the genesis of neurological diseases, including neurosyphillis or neurodegeneration (ND). Impaired iron homeostasis has been implicated in loss of function in several enzymes requiring iron as a cofactor, formation of toxic oxidative species, inflammation and elevated production of beta-amyloid proteins. This review proposes to discuss the link that may exist between the involvement of Treponema spp. in the genesis or worsening of ND, and iron dyshomeostasis. Proteins secreted by Treponema can act directly on iron metabolism, with hemin binding ability (HbpA and HbpB) and iron reductase able to reduce the central ferric iron of hemin, iron-containing proteins (rubredoxin, neelaredoxin, desulfoferrodoxin metalloproteins, bacterioferritins etc). Treponema can also interact with cellular compounds, especially plasma proteins involved in iron metabolism, contributing to the virulence of the syphilis spirochetes (e.g. treponemal motility and survival). Fibronectin, transferrin and lactoferrin were also shown to be receptors for treponemal adherence to host cells and extracellular matrix. Association between Treponema and iron binding proteins results in iron accumulation and sequestration by Treponema from host macromolecules during systemic and mucosal infections.

Abstract:
The first protein structures were determined by x-ray crystallography in 1957 by John C. Kendrew and Max F. Perutz. As a bioinorganic chemist, I was delighted that the structures were myoglobin and hemoglobin, both heme proteins with big, beautiful iron atoms. It must have been an extraordinary experience to stare at a physical model of the structures and see something that had previously only been imagined. Not long afterward, Christian B. Anfinsen Jr. proposed that the structure of a protein was thermodynamically stable. It seemed possible that the three-dimensional structure of a protein could be predicted based on the sequence of its amino acids. This “protein-folding problem,” as it came to be known, baffled scientists until this year, when the papers we’ve deemed the 2021 Breakthrough of the Year were published.

The highly conserved operon iron–sulfur cluster (iscSUA) is essential for the general biogenesis and transfer of iron–sulfur proteins in bacteria. In this study, expression, purification and characterization of the proteins of the isc operon (iscSUA) of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 was studied. Assembly and transfer of [Fe4S4] in vitro during the isc proteins and other iron sulfur proteins was studied in order to detect the pathway and mechanism of [Fe4S4] assembly and transfer in vivo. The [Fe4S4] cluster was successfully assembled in iron-sulfur proteins in vitro in the presence of Fe2+ and sulfide, and it was successfully transferred from IscA or IscU to iron- sulfur proteins. Our results support and extend certain models of iron-sulfur clusters assembly and transfer.

Abstract:
The lack of specific biological materials and biomarkers limits our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying intrauterine regulation of iron supply to the fetus. Determining the meconium content of proteins commonly used in the laboratory to assess the transport, storage, and distribution of iron in the body may elucidate their roles in fetal development. Ferritin, transferrin, haptoglobin, ceruloplasmin, lactoferrin, myeloperoxidase (MPO), neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and calprotectin were determined by ELISA in meconium samples obtained from 122 neonates. There were strong correlations between the meconium concentrations of haptoglobin, transferrin, and NGAL (p < 0.05). Meconium concentrations of ferritin were several-fold higher than the concentrations of the other proteins, with the exception of calprotectin whose concentration was approximately three-fold higher than that of ferritin. Meconium ceruloplasmin concentration significantly correlated with the concentrations of MPO, NGAL, lactoferrin, and calprotectin. Correlations between the meconium concentrations of haptoglobin, transferrin, and NGAL may reflect their collaborative involvement in the storage and transport of iron in the intrauterine environment in line with their recognized biological properties. High meconium concentrations of ferritin may provide information about the demand for iron and its utilization by the fetus. The associations between ceruloplasmin and neutrophil proteins may indicate the involvement of ceruloplasmin in the regulation of neutrophil activity in the intrauterine environment.

Abstract:
AbstractIron is required for key cellular functions, and there is a strong link between iron metabolism and important metabolic processes, such as cell growth, apoptosis and inflammation. Diseases that are directly or indirectly related to iron metabolism represent major health problems. Iron-regulatory proteins (IRPs) 1 and 2 are key controllers of vertebrate iron metabolism and post-transcriptionally regulate expression of the major iron homeostasis genes. Here we discuss how dysregulation of the IRP system can result from both iron-related and unrelated effectors and explain how this can have important pathological consequences in several human disorders.

Abstract:
Abstract Iron and copper are essential for all organisms, assuming critical roles as cofactors in many enzymes. In eukaryotes, the transmembrane transport of these elements is a highly regulated process facilitated by the single electron reduction of each metal. Previously, we identified a mammalian ferrireductase, Steap3, critical for erythroid iron homeostasis. Now, through homology, expression, and functional studies, we characterize all 4 members of this protein family and demonstrate that 3 of them, Steap2, Steap3, and Steap4, are not only ferrireductases but also cupric reductases that stimulate cellular uptake of both iron and copper in vitro. Finally, the pattern of tissue expression and subcellular localization of these proteins suggest they are physiologically relevant cupric reductases and ferrireductases in vivo.
