Iron status influences non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obesity through the gut microbiome

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

Background: The gut microbiome and iron status are known to play a role in the pathophysiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), although their complex interaction remains unclear. Results: Here, we applied an integrative systems medicine approa ...

Iron sequestration by transferrin 1 mediates nutritional immunity in Drosophila melanogaster

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Alice Marra, Igor Iatsenko

Iron sequestration is a recognized innate immune mechanism against invading pathogens mediated by iron-binding proteins called transferrins. Despite many studies on antimicrobial activity of transferrins in vitro, their specific in vivo functions are poorl ...

Factors influencing safety and efficacy of intravenous iron-carbohydrate nanomedicines: From production to clinical practice

Heinrich Hofmann

Iron deficiency is an important subclinical disease affecting over one billion people worldwide. A growing body of clinical records supports the use of intravenous iron-carbohydrate complexes for patients where iron replenishment is necessary and oral iron ...

Mitotic chromosome binding predicts transcription factor properties in interphase

Mahé Cécile Raccaud

Mammalian transcription factors (TFs) differ broadly in their nuclear mobility and sequence-specific/non-specific DNA binding affinity. How these properties affect the ability of TFs to occupy their specific binding sites in the genome and modify the epige ...

Novel osmium(II)-cymene complexes containing curcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin ligands

Paul Joseph Dyson, Lucinda Kate Batchelor

The first examples of (arene)Os(II) curcuminoid derivatives have been prepared and characterized. The neutral complexes [(p-cym)Os(curc)Cl] (1) and [( p-cym)Os(bdcurc)Cl] ( 2), together with the cationic derivatives [( p-cym)Os(curc)(PTA)][SO3CF3] (3) and ...

Transcription factor proteomics - Tools, applications, and challenges

Bart Deplancke, Jovan Simicevic

Transcription factors (TFs) are a family of DNA-binding proteins whose gene regulatory capabilities are of vital importance in defining the molecular state of a cell. Despite their biological significance, our understanding of TF behavior and function is s ...

Iron regulatory proteins and their role in controlling iron metabolism

Cellular iron homeostasis is regulated by post-transcriptional feedback mechanisms, which control the expression of proteins involved in iron uptake, release and storage. Two cytoplasmic proteins with mRNA-binding properties, iron regulatory proteins 1 and ...

Conservation of transcription factor binding specificities across 600 million years of bilateria evolution

Bart Deplancke

Divergent morphology of species has largely been ascribed to genetic differences in the tissue-specific expression of proteins, which could be achieved by divergence in cis-regulatory elements or by altering the binding specificity of transcription factors ...

Antibody-Mediated Trapping of Helminth Larvae Requires CD11b and Fc gamma Receptor I

Nicola Harris, Romain Guiet, Arne Seitz, Beatrice Volpe, Julia Esser-von Bieren, Duncan-Bruce Sutherland, Manuel Kulagin

Infections with intestinal helminths severely impact on human and veterinary health, particularly through the damage that these large parasites inflict when migrating through host tissues. Host immunity often targets the motility of tissue-migrating helmin ...

Systematic Analysis of Yeast Gene Expression by Synthetic Promoter Libraries

Arun Stephen Rajkumar

The precise tuning of gene expression levels is essential for optimal performance of transcriptional regulatory networks. Many regulatory components control promoter output, but transcription factor (TF) binding sites are amongst the most prominent. Beside ...

Assessment of transferrin recycling by Triplet Lifetime Imaging in living cells

Harm-Anton Klok, Theo Lasser, Zuzana Kadlecova

An optical method is presented that allows the measurement of the triplet lifetime of a fluorescent molecule. This is a characteristic specific to each fluorophore. Based on differences in triplet lifetimes of two fluorescent species (autofluorescence vers ...

X-ray absorption spectroscopy studies of the adducts formed between cytotoxic gold compounds and two major serum proteins

Angela Casini

Gold metallodrugs form a class of promising antiproliferative agents showing a high propensity to react with proteins. We exploit here X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) methods [both X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES) and extended X-ray abso ...

Intestinal ferritin H is required for an accurate control of iron absorption

Lukas Kühn

To maintain appropriate body iron levels, iron absorption by the proximal duodenum is thought to be controlled by hepcidin, a polypeptide secreted by hepatocytes in response to high serum iron. Hepcidin limits basolateral iron efflux from the duodenal epit ...

Conditional deletion of ferritin H in mice induces loss of iron storage and liver damage

Friedrich Beermann, Lukas Kühn

Ferritin plays a central role in iron metabolism by acting both as iron storage and detoxifying protein. We have generated a ferritin H allele with loxP sites and studied the conditional ferritin H deletion in adult mice. Ten days after Mx-Cre induced dele ...

Analysis of mice with conditional ferritin H deletion

Iron is a transitional metal required by virtually all organisms as a dietary micromineral, indispensable for cellular survival and proliferation. The management of iron absorption and distribution in the organism and inside the cell must be tightly regula ...
