Protein Variants | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
A19Y | site-directed mutagenesis, introduction of a stop codon at position 166 and replacment of Ala19 by a Tyr residue. The mutant is able to bind, oxidize and store iron, and its activity is inhibited by Zn(II) as described for other ferritins. The mutant enzymes shows reduced activity and protein stability compared to the wild-type enzyme | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
additional information | deletion of 38 amino acid of the C-terminal region of rCtFtn decreases the enzyme stability | Chlorobaculum tepidum |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
metabolism | the initial step in the iron store mechanism occurs when the Fe(II) is oxidize to Fe(III) at the ferroxidase center (FC) found in the H-chain from mammalian ferritins, bacterial ferritins and Bfr subunits | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
additional information | the recombinant Chlorobium tepidum ferritin (rCtFtn) has an unusual C-terminal region composed of 12 histidine residues, as well as aspartate and glutamate residues. These residues act as potential metal ion ligands, and the rCtFtn homology model predicts that this region projects inside the protein cage. The rCtFtn also lacks a conserved Tyr residue in position 19. The C-terminal region plays an important role in the activity of the ferroxidase center and the stability of rCtFtn. Homology modeling of the subunit of rCtFtn shows that the protein acquires the typical 5 alpha-helix bundle observed for other ferritin subunits | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
physiological function | the recombinant Chlorobium tepidum ferritin (rCtFtn) is able to oxidize iron with a moderate ferroxidase activity | Chlorobaculum tepidum |
