Host iron binding proteins acting as niche indicators for Neisseria meningitidis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Neisseria meningitidis requires iron, and in the absence of iron alters its gene expression to increase iron acquisition and to make the best use of the iron it has.

Characterisation of Bombyx mori odorant-binding proteins reveals that a general odorant-binding protein discriminates between sex pheromone components [PDF]
, 2009 In many insect species, odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are thought to be responsible for the transport of pheromones and other semiochemicals across the sensillum lymph to the olfactory receptors (ORs) within the antennal sensilla.

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.

Biophysical and Cell Biological Studies Characterizing the Vertebrate Iron Exporter Ferroportin [PDF]
, 2009 Mammalian iron homeostasis is maintained by an intricate network of diverse proteins that constantly survey systemic iron levels and carefully regulate the uptake of iron from the diet. Control of this uptake is critically important because once iron is

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 ...

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.

Ferredoxin containing bacteriocins suggest a novel mechanism of iron uptake in Pectobacterium spp [PDF]
, 2012 In order to kill competing strains of the same or closely related bacterial species, many bacteria produce potent narrow-spectrum protein antibiotics known as bacteriocins.
