Cellular DNA damage under prooxidant conditions has been shown to be mediated by iron.
In fact, iron is an important element in the establishment of a prooxidant status in the cell. It is …

We describe a novel diverse family of metal ion transporter (CDF) proteins (the cation
diffusion facilitator (CDF) family) with members occurring in both prokaryotes and …

A review of information, as well as new research results related to low molecular weight
metal chelators isolated from wood decay fungi is presented. Low molecular weight …

The function of the ABC transporter Atm1p located in the mitochondrial inner membrane is
not yet known. To study its cellular role, we analyzed a mutant in which ATM1 was disrupted …

In this study, we identified the iron‐transport systems of Escherichia coli O157: H7 strain
EDL933. This strain synthesized and transported enterobactin and had a ferric citrate …

We have identified an approximately 22-kb region of the pgm locus of Yersinia pestis KIM6+
which encodes a number of iron-regulated proteins involved in the biosynthesis of the Y …

The biological availability of iron in the rhizosphere was assessed by evaluating ice
nucleation activity (INA) expressed in situ by Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 containing a …

Bacteria mediate the biomineralization of several magnetic iron minerals that include the
iron oxide, magnetite (Fe304; Fe2+Fe23+04) and the iron sulfides, greigite (Fe3S4) and …

Ligand-gated membrane channels selectively facilitate the entry of iron into prokaryotic cells.
The essential role of iron in metabolism makes its acquisition a determinant of bacterial …

Legionella pneumophila, a parasite of alveolar macrophages, requires iron for intra-and
extracellular growth. Although its mechanisms for iron assimilation are poorly understood …
