Synthesis, delivery and regulation of eukaryotic heme and Fe–S cluster cofactors

Abstract: In humans, the bulk of iron in the body (over 75%) is directed towards heme- or Fe-S cluster cofactor synthesis, and the complex, highly regulated pathways in place to accomplish biosynthesis have evolved to safely assemble and load these cofactors into apoprotein partners. In eukaryotes, heme biosynthesis is both initiated and finalized within the mitochondria, while cellular Fe-S cluster assembly is controlled by correlated pathways both within the mitochondria and within the cytosol. Iron plays a vital role… Show more

“…Iron (Fe2+) uptake at the surface of cells occurs with the help of DMT1, which encodes a divalent metal transporter that also helps uptake into enterocytes. As a result, the Fe3+-bound transferrin binds the transferrin receptor at the surface of the cell and results in endocytosis [17,30]; Figure 3).…”

“…Within mitochondria, iron is normally stored as mitochondrial ferritin (MTFT). Cytosolic Fe can be converted into FeS proteins and Fe proteins with the help of the PCB1-4-dependent pathway into ferritin [17,30].…”

“…Iron metabolism affects the whole cell, since iron is taken up from extracellular space either via transferrin or in a transferrin-independent manner, then reduced in lysosomes for detoxification and distributed within cells, for example to mitochondria, where iron is utilized for ISC production and heme generation [48][49][50]. The correct function of dozens of proteins in mitochondria, cytosol and nucleus depends on the insertion of ISC [51,52], so the regulation of iron homeostasis is crucial. ISC play important roles in a wide range of cellular reactions, e.g.…”
