Function

FRIH_HUMAN Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity).

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Iron-sulfur cluster conversion and nitrosyl modification are involved in regulating their functions and play critical roles in signaling for biological systems. Hereby, the photo-induced dynamic process of (Me(4)N)(2)[Fe(2)S(2)(NO)(4)] was monitored using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, MS spectra and cellular imaging methods. Photo-irradiation and the solvent affect the reaction rates and products. Spectroscopic and kinetic studies have shown that the process involves at least three intermediates: spin-trapped NO free radical species with a g(av) at 2.040, and two other iron nitrosyl species, dinitrosyl iron units (DNICs) and mononitrosyl iron units (MNICs) with g(av) values at 2.031 and 2.024, respectively. Moreover, the [Fe(2)S(2)(NO)(4)](2-) cluster could bind with ferritin and decompose gradually, and a binding state of dinitrosyl iron coordinated with Cys102 of the recombinant human heavy chain ferritin (rHuHF) was finally formed. This study provides insight into the photodynamic mechanism of nitrosyl iron - sulfur clusters to improve the understanding of physiological activity.
