The iron core ofEscherichia coliferritin was reconstituted in the presence and absence of phosphate. The core formed in the presence of phosphate contained phosphate in amounts comparable to the iron content. The size distribution of the core was analyzed by analytical ultracentrifugation. A continuous size distribution was observed in the presence of phosphate, whereas a multimodal distribution was found in the absence of phosphate. In the presence of phosphate, the core size observed by electron microscopy was consistent with the inner diameter of ferritin. In contrast to this, clusters of several smaller particles were observed in the absence of phosphate. The small-angle X-ray scattering was measured under contrast matching conditions to obtain information on the iron core shape. A fringe was observed in the scattering profile in the presence of phosphate, but it was not observed in the absence of phosphate. Combining all results, we conclude that a hollow spherical core was formed in the presence of phosphate, while several small particles were formed within the inner cavity in the absence of phosphate.Graphical abstract
