Biochemical characterization, redox measurements, and Mossbauer spectral data of reduced and oxidized bacterial ferritin from Azotobacter vinelandii are reported. Ferritin samples ranging from 600 to 2400 Fe atoms/molecule were obtained from bacterial cells grown 20 and 40 h. The bacterial ferritin contained an average of 1.4 Fe/Pi and 0.5 b-type heme/subunit. Reduction potentials of -475 mV for heme reduction and -420 mV for core iron reduction were determined, the latter value being apparently independent of pH. Apobacterioferritin (containing only heme) has a reduction potential of -225 mV, a value 250 mV more positive than when the core is present. Mossbauer spectra of oxidized and partially reduced bacterial ferritin clearly show discrete Fe3+ and Fez+, the former in an antiferromagnetically coupled structure. Blocking temperatures are lower for bacterial ferritin than for mammalian ferritin. The parameters for Fe2+ in bacterial ferritin are similar to those in reduced mammalian ferritin.
