Iron is an essential but potentially toxic nutrient for virtually all organisms. Iron deficiency is the most common human nutritional deficiency disease. At the same time excessive iron stores have been associated with increased occurrence of neurological disorders and certain cancers. Mammalian iron metabolism is modulated through the action of two regulatory RNA binding proteins, iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) and IRP2. IRPs bind to iron responsive elements (IRE) in ferritin (iron storage) and transferrin receptor (TfR) (iron uptake) mRNAs and regulate their translation or stability, respectively. IRP1 is an Fe-S protein and the presence or absence of the Fe-S cluster modulates the RNA binding activity of the protein. Iron regulates the RNA binding activity of a related protein, IRP2, by inducing its degradation. Because IRPs are pivotal regulators of iron metabolism, and directed changes in iron metabolism occur in human health and disease, it is important to better understand how iron and other factors affect IRP function. Our overall goal is to determine how iron metabolism is modulated through the action of intracellular and extracellular effectors that influence IRP action. We have begun to elucidate a novel mechanism by which protein kinase C (PKC)-dependent phosphorylation of IRPs serves as a means through which hormones, growth factors and other agents can act to influence cellular iron metabolism. We propose to: 1) use a structure/function approach to determine how phosphorylation affects IRP function in vitro; 2) determine the cellular role of phosphorylation in the function and compartmentalization of IRPs; and 3) determine the effect of iron and oxidative stress on the cellular function of phosphorylated IRPs. Our broad goal with regard to IRP1 is to understand how regulated changes in assembly and stability of its Fe-S cluster affect its function as an iron-regulated RNA protein. Our overall goal for IRP2 is to delineate how phosphorylation affects the redox and iron-regulation of its proteasomal degradation. Our studies provide a comprehensive approach from the molecular to the whole animal level that will: 1) delineate a novel mechanism for regulated changes in stability of Fe-S clusters in mammals; 2) describe a unique example of how phosphoregulation and iron-regulation overlap to establish the steady state level of the regulatory RNA binding proteins, IRP1 and IRP2; 3) further define the molecular pathways through which mammalian iron metabolism can be regulated.

铁是一种基本的，但潜在的有毒营养素，几乎所有 有机体 缺铁是人类最常见的营养不良 缺乏症 与此同时，过量的铁储存已被 与神经系统疾病的发生率增加有关， 某些癌症。 哺乳动物的铁代谢是通过 两种调节RNA结合蛋白，铁调节蛋白 1（IRP 1）和IRP 2。IRP与铁响应元件（IRE）结合， 铁蛋白（铁储存）和转铁蛋白受体（TfR）（铁摄取） mRNA和调节它们的翻译或稳定性。 IRP1 是Fe-S蛋白，并且Fe-S簇的存在或不存在 调节蛋白质的RNA结合活性。 铁调节 通过诱导相关蛋白IRP 2的RNA结合活性， 降解 因为IRP是铁代谢的关键调节剂， 铁代谢的直接变化发生在人类健康中， 疾病，重要的是要更好地了解铁和其他因素 影响IRP功能。 我们的总体目标是确定铁代谢是如何调节的 通过细胞内和细胞外效应物的作用， 影响IRP行动。 我们已经开始阐明一种新的机制， IRP的蛋白激酶C（PKC）依赖性磷酸化作用 作为一种手段，通过它激素，生长因子和其他代理人可以 影响细胞铁代谢。 我们建议：1）使用 结构/功能方法来确定磷酸化如何影响IRP 2）确定磷酸化在细胞中的作用， IRP的功能和划分;以及3）确定 铁和氧化应激对细胞功能的影响 磷酸化IRP。 我们对IRP 1的总体目标是 了解如何调节其Fe-S组装和稳定性的变化 簇影响其作为铁调节RNA蛋白的功能。 我们 IRP 2的总体目标是描述磷酸化如何影响 氧化还原和铁调节其蛋白酶体降解。 我们的研究 提供从分子到整个动物的综合方法 水平，将：1）描绘一个新的机制，调节变化 在哺乳动物中Fe-S簇的稳定性; 2）描述了一个独特的例子 磷酸调节和铁调节是如何重叠的， 调节RNA结合蛋白IRP 1和 IRP 2; 3）进一步确定哺乳动物通过其 铁代谢可以被调节。
