A non-magnetic mutant of Magnetospirilluin magneticum AMB-1 (NMA61), harboring a defective gene located in ORF4 (gene ID: amb4111) was generated by transposon mutagenesis. Biochemical characterization of the gene product of ORF4 revealed that it was localized in the cytoplasm and displayed ATPase activity. The ability of NMA61 to take up iron was severely compromised. Ferrous ion concentration in the medium decreased more with the wild-type than with NMA61, while the iron content in the cytoplasmic fraction of NMA61 was much lower than the wild-type strain. This cytoplasmic ATPase is essential for iron trafficking within M. magneticum AMB-1. (c) 2007 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
