Iron is essential to cells as a cofactor in enzymes of respiration and replication, however without correct storage, iron leads to the formation of dangerous oxygen radicals. In yeast and plants, iron is transported into a membrane-bound vacuole by the vacuolar iron transporter (VIT). This trans...
2. Most storage iron is found in parenchymal cells, and is derived from transferrin and from free haemoglobin. Kupffer cell iron is largely derived from the breakdown of red cells
a–cCD4+splenic cells fromTfrcfl/flFoxp3YFP-Cre/+andTfrc+/+Foxp3YFP-Cre/+(WT) female mice were gated and analyzed for YFP and Foxp3 expression.aRepresentative flow cytometric analysis with pregating on CD4+cells; (b). Summary of the frequencies of YFP+Foxp3+cells in CD4+T cells from...
Synthesis and structure of [Bi2(NtBu)4]2 . 2THF; a bimetallic cubane fragment containing a [Bi2(NtBu)4]2- anion The imido-Bi complex [Bi2(NtBu)4]Li2路2THF (1) has been prepared by the in situ reaction of [(Me2N)Bi(渭-NtBu)]2 with [tBuNHLi] in toluene/THF solution. Th...
The aromatic derivatives of the formula (I), wherein R1 is (a), wherein R3 and R4 are selected from between H and OH, provided that R3 and R4 are not simultaneously H, and R2 is H; or R1 and R2 taken together are (b), wherein R5 is selected from between CH3 and (CH2)5OH;...
A, cells were treated with 1, 2, and 4 μg/ml Lcn2 for 48 h and analyzed by confocal microscopy (magnification, ×40) using TMRE dye, with total nuclei identified using Hoechst 33342. B, quantitative analysis of relative fluorescence intensity is shown (n = 4; *, p < 0.01). Lcn2...
synthesis in mitochondria, and DNA replication. ISCs are important for mitochondrial functions and DNA replication. However, excess iron can also generate ROS.BIron uptake, redistribution, and export at the cellular level. Endocytosis of Tf-TfR1 complex releases iron to the cytosol LIP by DMT1 or...
Subsequently, the ferrous iron is re-oxidized and imported by a protein complex consisting of the ferroxidase FetC and the iron permease FtrA. Siderophores are low molecular mass, ferric iron-specific chelators. A. fumigatus excretes two different siderophores, fusarinine C (FsC) and triacetyl...
Size distribution of aerosol iron (Fe) concentration and solubility determines their environmental and health impacts but they are rarely reported. In this study, size-resolved aerosol particles were collected in Hangzhou, a Chinese megacity upwind of the Asian outflow to the Pacific Ocean. Total an...
