Iron binding at specific sites within the octameric HbpS protects streptomycetes from iron-mediated oxidative stress. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The soil bacterium Streptomyces reticuli secretes the octameric protein HbpS that acts as a sensory component of the redox-signalling pathway HbpS-SenS-SenR. This system modulates a genetic response on iron- and haem-mediated oxidative stress.

Iron-tracking strategies: Chaperones capture iron in the cytosolic labile iron pool
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Cells express hundreds of iron-dependent enzymes that rely on the iron cofactors heme, iron-sulfur clusters, and mono-or di-nuclear iron centers for activity.

Monomeric Yeast Frataxin Is an Iron-Binding Protein [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2006 Friedreich's ataxia, an autosomal cardio- and neurodegenerative disorder that affects 1 in 50,000 humans, is caused by decreased levels of the protein frataxin. Although frataxin is nuclear-encoded, it is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix and necessary for proper regulation of cellular iron homeostasis.

Lactoferrin‐an iron binding protein in synovial fluid [PDF]
Arthritis & Rheumatism, 1973 AbstractThis study was initiated in an attempt to confirm recent reports that mycoplasmas can be regularly isolated from human rheumatoid tissue, and that joint lesions can be induced in mice and chicks by injection of human rheumatoid synovium. All synovial tissues were free of mycoplasmas including T‐strains.

Iron-Utilization System in Vibrio vulnificus M2799
Marine Drugs, 2021 Vibrio vulnificus is a Gram-negative pathogenic bacterium that causes serious infections in humans and requires iron for growth. A clinical isolate, V. vulnificus M2799, secretes a catecholate siderophore, vulnibactin, that captures ferric ions from the ...

Phase variation in Myxococcus xanthus yields cells specialized for iron sequestration. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Myxococcus xanthus undergoes phase variation during growth to produce predominantly two colony phenotypes. The majority are yellow colonies containing swarm-proficient cells and a minority are tan colonies containing swarm-deficient cells.

Structure-function relationships of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcription factor WhiB1.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundMembers of the WhiB-like (Wbl) protein family possess iron-sulfur clusters and are implicated in the regulation of developmental processes in Actinomycetes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses seven Wbl proteins.
