Structural and functional relationship of mammalian and nematode ferritins
BioTechnologia, 2021 Ferritin is a unique buffering protein in iron metabolism. By storing or releasing iron in a tightly controlled manner, it prevents the negative effects of free ferrous ions on biomolecules in all domains of life – from bacteria to mammals.

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

Three aromatic residues are required for electron transfer during iron mineralization in Bacterioferritin [PDF]
, 2015 Ferritins are iron storage proteins that overcome problems of toxicity and poor bioavailability of iron by catalysing iron oxidation and mineralization through the activity of a diiron ferroxidase site.
