Heterologous Expression of Either Human or Soya Bean Ferritins in Budding Yeast Reveals Common Functions Protecting Against Oxidative Agents and Counteracting Double-Strand Break Accumulation [PDF]

Biomolecules
Ferritins are globular proteins that, upon self-assembly in nanocages, are capable of bio-safely storing huge concentrations of bioavailable iron. They are present in most cell types and organisms; one of the exceptions is yeast.

A natural biogenic nanozyme for scavenging superoxide radicals [PDF]

Nature Communications
Biominerals, the inorganic minerals of organisms, are known mainly for their physical property-related functions in modern living organisms. Our recent discovery of the enzyme-like activities of nanomaterials, coined as nanozyme, inspires the hypothesis ...

Ferritin microheterogeneity, subunit composition, functional, and physiological implications [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Ferritin is a ubiquitous intracellular iron storage protein that plays a crucial role in iron homeostasis. Animal tissue ferritins consist of multiple isoforms (or isoferritins) with different proportions of H and L subunits that contribute to their ...

Lipid Oxidation Induced by RF Waves and Mediated by Ferritin Iron Causes Activation of Ferritin-Tagged Ion Channels

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: One approach to magnetogenetics uses radiofrequency (RF) waves to activate transient receptor potential channels (TRPV1 and TRPV4) that are coupled to cellular ferritins.

Ferritins: furnishing proteins with iron [PDF]

, 2016
Ferritins are a superfamily of iron oxidation, storage and mineralization proteins found throughout the animal, plant, and microbial kingdoms. The majority of ferritins consist of 24 subunits that individually fold into 4-α-helix bundles and assemble in ...

Iron release from ferritin and its sensitivity to superoxide ions differs among vertebrates [PDF]

, 1994
The influence of the superoxide-generating system, xanthine oxidase, on the release of iron from various vertebrate ferritins was determined both in the presence and absence of superoxide dismutase.
