The Iron–Sulfur Cluster of Bacterioferritin‐Associated Ferredoxin (Bfd): a “Biological Fuse” that Prevents Oxidative Damage to Cells?

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
When cellular iron is low, bacterioferritin (Bfr) releases its stored iron through a reductive process dependent on the [2Fe–2S] ferredoxin Bfd. Why accessing stored iron should depend on an iron‐requiring protein when iron is scarce is unclear. Here, we show that the Bfd [2Fe–2S] cluster is sensitive to oxidative stress, suggesting that it may act as ...

Genetic relationships of some Citrus genotypes based on the candidate iron chlorosis genes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Iron is one of the most important elements in plant mineral nutrition. Fe deficiency is a critical abiotic stress factor for Mediterranean citriculture; the development of marker-assisted selection for this trait would greatly enhance rootstock breeding.

SNORA58 Facilitates Radioresistance via Suppressing JNK1‐Mediated Ferroptosis in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
In ESCC patients, SNORA58 exhibits heterogeneous expression patterns. Its aberrant overexpression stabilizes CTCF by inhibiting ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, leading to the attenuation of JNK1‐mediated ferroptosis induced by radiotherapy through disruption of intracellular iron homeostasis, and ultimately contributes to radioresistance ...

Embracing Complexity: Peptides as Tunable Scaffolds in the Construction of Discrete Supramolecular Systems

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
The inherent chirality, tunability, biocompatibility, and robustness of peptides provide an exciting opportunity for supramolecular chemistry. In this mini‐review, we explore uses of peptides in discrete supramolecular systems, how chemists can draw inspiration from larger biological assemblies, and discuss how embracing the complexity of peptide ...

Direct Assembly of Modified Proteins on Carbon Nanotubes in an Aqueous Solution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have superior mechanical and electrical properties that have opened up many potential applications. However, poor dispersibility and solubility, due to the substantial van der Waals attraction between tubes, have prevented the use

The Irr and RirA proteins participate in a complex regulatory circuit and act in concert to modulate bacterioferritin expression in Ensifer meliloti 1021 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this work we found that the bfr gene of the rhizobial species Ensifer meliloti, encoding a bacterioferritin iron storage protein, is involved in iron homeostasis and the oxidative stress response. This gene is located downstream of and overlapping the

Harnessing the Biological Responses Induced by Nanomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Therapy

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
Nanomaterial (NM)‐induced toxicity can be strategically repurposed for cancer therapy. This review summarizes the mechanism by which NMs selectively activate specific cellular processes to regulate cell fate independently. We also discussed how NMs‐induced biological responses can be leveraged as therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

Supramolecular Probe for Monitoring Lysosomal Ferritinophagy to Facilitate the Early Diagnosis of Parkinson's Disease

open access: yesAggregate, EarlyView.
A supramolecular fluorescent probe, TPE‐4B/4Q[7], was designed to target lysosomes. The restriction of intramolecular rotation effect mediated by Q[7] enhances the fluorescence of TPE‐4B/4Q[7], enabling selective detection of Fe3+ with a detection limit of 1.23 × 10⁻⁶ M.
