Molecular regulation of iron proteins

Lukas Kühn

Cellular iron metabolism comprises pathways of iron-protein synthesis and degradation, iron uptake via transferrin receptor (TfR) or release to the extracellular space, as well as iron deposition into ferritin and remobilization from such stores. Different ...

1994

Mutational analysis of the [4Fe-4S]-cluster converting iron regulatory factor from its RNA-binding form to cytoplasmic aconitase

Lukas Kühn

The control of cellular iron homeostasis involves the coordinate post-transcriptional regulation of ferritin mRNA translation and transferring receptor mRNA stability. These regulatory events are mediated by a soluble cytoplasmic protein, iron regulatory f ...

1994

Iron regulatory factor (IRF) is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein involved in regulating iron homeostasis. IRF controls expression of ferritin and transferrin receptor post-transcriptionally via specific binding to stem-loop iron-responsive elements (IREs) ...

1993

Biosynthesis of nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine modulates activity of iron-dependent enzymes, including mitochondrial acontiase, an [Fe-S] protein. We examined the effect of NO on the activity of iron regulatory factor (IRF), a cytoplasmic protein which ...

1993

Interleukin-2 (IL-2) controls the proliferation of the murine T cell line B6.1 and induces transferrin receptor (TfR) mRNA steady-state levels 50-fold when added to arrested, IL-2-deprived cells. In addition, TfR mRNA is post-transcriptionally regulated by ...

1993

Expression of active iron regulatory factor from a full-length human cDNA by in vitro transcription/translation

Lukas Kühn

Iron regulatory factor (IRF), also called iron responsive element-binding protein (IRE-BP), is a cytoplasmic RNA-binding protein which regulates post-transcriptionally transferrin receptor mRNA stability and ferritin mRNA translation. By using the polymera ...

1992

Differential regulation of iron regulatory element-binding protein(s) in cell extracts of activated lymphocytes versus monocytes-macrophages

Lukas Kühn

The intracellular iron level exerts a negative feedback on transferrin receptor (TfR) expression in cells requiring iron for their proliferation, in contrast to the positive feedback observed in monocytes-macrophages. It has been suggested recently that mo ...

1991

The mRNA-binding protein which controls ferritin and transferrin receptor expression is conserved during evolution

Lukas Kühn

A post-transcriptional regulatory protein, termed iron regulatory factor (IRF), that binds specifically to the iron-responsive elements of ferritin and transferrin receptor mRNA, has recently been identified in the cytoplasm of human and mouse cells. Activ ...

1990

A high yield affinity purification method for specific RNA-binding proteins: isolation of the iron regulatory factor from human placenta

Lukas Kühn

We describe a simple method for the affinity purification of specific RNA-binding proteins. DNA sequences corresponding to the protein-binding site of the RNA are subcloned into an in vitro transcription vector between the T7 viral promoter and a poly(A) t ...

1990

The transferrin receptor: a key function in iron metabolism

Lukas Kühn

Iron is essential to cell proliferation. Its uptake by cells requires specific binding of the major serum iron-transport protein, transferrin, to cell surface transferrin receptors, followed by endocytosis of the receptor-ligand complexes and release of ir ...
