Comparison of the Interactions of Transferrin Receptor and Transferrin Receptor 2 with Transferrin and the Hereditary Hemochromatosis Protein HFE [PDF]
The transferrin receptor (TfR) interacts with two proteins important for iron metabolism, transferrin (Tf) and HFE, the protein mutated in hereditary hemochromatosis.

Uptake Efficiency of Iron in Different Wheat Varieties
With due attention to the low availability of iron in calcareous soils and different ability of plant species in iron acquisition, the study and identification of iron-efficient plants is necessary to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers. In this way,

Monoubiquitin-dependent endocytosis of the Iron-Regulated Transporter 1 (IRT1) transporter controls iron uptake in plants [PDF]
Plants take up iron from the soil using the IRON-REGULATED TRANSPORTER 1 (IRT1) high-affinity iron transporter at the root surface. Sophisticated regulatory mechanisms allow plants to tightly control the levels of IRT1, ensuring optimal absorption of ...

We demonstrate that the unique green algal iron assimilatory protein, FEA1, is able to complement the Arabidopsis iron-transporter mutant, irt1, as well as enhance iron accumulation in FEA1 expressing wild-type plants.

The “Little Iron Waltz”: The Ternary Response of Paracoccidioides spp. to Iron Deprivation
Paracoccidioides is a genus of thermodimorphic fungi that causes paracoccidioidomycosis. When in the host, the fungus undergoes several challenges, including iron deprivation imposed by nutritional immunity.

Iron overload and apoptosis of HL-1 cardiomyocytes: effects of calcium channel blockade. [PDF]
Iron overload cardiomyopathy that prevails in some forms of hemosiderosis is caused by excessive deposition of iron into the heart tissue and ensuing damage caused by a raise in labile cell iron.

The role of the ferric uptake regulator (Fur) in regulation of Helicobacter pylori iron uptake [PDF]
Background. Availability of the essential nutrient iron is thought to vary greatly in the gastric mucosa, and thus the human gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori requires regulatory responses to these environmental changes.

Enhanced sensitivity of oceanic CO2 uptake to dust deposition by iron-light colimitation [PDF]
The iron hypothesis suggests that in large areas of the ocean phytoplankton growth and thus photosynthetic CO2-uptake is limited by the micronutrient iron.
