High-affinity iron (Fe) scavenging compounds, or siderophores, are widely employed by soil bacteria to survive scarcity in bioavailable Fe. Siderophore biosynthesis relies on cellular carbon metabolism, despite reported decrease in both carbon uptake and Fe-containing metabolic proteins in Fe-def...

Intestinal inflammation and the related gut microbiome dysbiosis are becoming prevalent worldwide. Overgrowth of Enterobacteriaceae exacerbates intestinal inflammation and gut microbiome dysbiosis. Enterobacteriaceae secrets siderophore to acquire iron and survive in the iron-limited gut. Therefo...

The budding yeast S. cerevisiae responds to depletion of iron in the environment by activating Aft1p, the major iron-dependent transcription factor, and by transcribing systems involved in the uptake of iron. Here we have studied the transcriptional response to iron deprivation, and have identified ...

Iron-deficiency repsonses in Arabidopsis are controlled by several bHLH transcription factors. FIT, for example has been shown to direct iron-uptake responses. However, the role of shoot and root expressed genes bHLH100 and bHLH101 has not be clarified. We used microarray to study what genes migh...

Iron is an essential nutriment for almost all organisms, but this metal is poorly bioavailable. During infection, bacteria access iron from the host by importing either iron or hemin. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a Gram-negative pathogen, secretes two siderophores, pyoverdine (PVD) and pyochelin (PCH), t...

The mycobacterial IdeR protein is a metal-dependent regulator of the DtxR (diphtheria toxin repressor) family. In the presence of iron, it binds to a specific DNA sequence in the promoter regions of the genes that it regulates, thus controlling their transcription. In this study, we provide evidence...

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae transcription factor Aft1 is activated in iron-deficient cells to induce the expression of iron regulon genes, which coordinate the increase of iron uptake and remodel cellular metabolism to survive low iron conditions. In addition, Aft1 has been implicated in numerou...
ORGANISM(S): Saccharomyces cerevisiae 
Iron homeostasis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated at the transcriptional level by Aft1p, which activates the expression of its target genes in response to low-iron conditions. The yeast genome contains a paralog of AFT1, which has been designated AFT2. To establish whether AFT1 and...

Plants need iron but excess is harmful. Iron uptake transcription factor bHLH104 is negatively controlled by Fe-binding E3 ligase BTS. We show that three–amino acid terminal sequence of bHLH104 controls its breakdown by the BTS pathway. Removing PAA keeps bHLH104 active, driving constant iron uptake...
