Iron is an essential element required by cells and has been described as a key player in
ferroptosis. Ferritin operates as a fundamental iron storage protein in cells forming …

Ferritin is considered the major iron storage protein which maintains a large iron core in its
cavity and has ferroxidase activity. There are many types of ferritin particularly in prokaryotes …

Cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) allows for label-free high-resolution imaging of
macromolecular assemblies in their native cellular context. However, the localization of …

Regulation of cell mortality for disease treatment has been the focus of research. Ferroptosis
is an iron-dependent regulated cell death whose mechanism has been extensively studied …

Iron is an essential micronutrient, and, in the case of bacteria, its availability is commonly a
growth-limiting factor. However, correct functioning of cells requires that the labile pool of …

Iron storage proteins are essential for cellular iron homeostasis and redox balance. Ferritin
proteins are the major storage units for bioavailable forms of iron. Some organisms lack …

Cells organize and regulate their metabolism via membrane-or protein-bound organelles. In
this way, incompatible processes can be spatially separated and controlled. In prokaryotes …

Subcellular compartmentalization is a defining feature of all cells. In prokaryotes,
compartmentalization is generally achieved via protein-based strategies. The two main …

Ferritin is a vital protein complex responsible for storing iron in almost all living organisms. It
plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways, inflammation processes, stress response …

Encapsulins are self-assembling protein nanocompartments capable of selectively
encapsulating dedicated cargo proteins, including enzymes involved in iron storage, sulfur …
