Iron homeostasis in insects is less-well understood comparatively to mammals. The classic model organism Drosophila melanogaster has been recently employed to explore how iron is trafficked between and within cells. An outline for iron absorption, systemic delivery, and efflux is thus beginning to ...
However, whether and how transferrin functions in maintaining iron homeostasis in insects is unclear, and a homologue of mammalian trans- ferrin receptor is not present in Drosophila and other insect genomes [22, 29]. Future studies will shed light on how ferritin and transferrin function in ...

Additionally, they induce enhanced root development, upregulation of aquaporins, alteration of intracellular water metabolism, accumulation of compatible solutes, and ion homeostasis [64]. Applying Fe/Cu/P nanocomposite mitigates the effect of drought stress at both concentrations, but the effect was mor...

Author Summary Iron homeostasis is important for all living organisms; too much iron confers cell toxicity, and too little iron results in reduced cell fitness. While crucial for many cellular processes in both man and pathogens, a battle for this essential nutrient erupts during infection between ...

IRP (Iron Regulatory Proteins): IRP1 and IRP2 are cytosolic proteins that sense iron concentration and posttranscriptionally regulate the expression/translation of iron-related genes to maintain cellular iron homeostasis. IRP1 is an RNA binding protein in its apo form when iron is low. When iron...
