Journal ArticleDOI

Chemistry and biology of siderophores.

TL;DR: The classification and chemical properties of siderophores are described, before outlining research on sidersophore biosynthesis and transport and Clinically important siderophile design and the therapeutic potential are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of an intestinal heme transporter.

TL;DR: A membrane protein named HCP 1 (heme carrier protein 1), with homology to bacterial metal-tetracycline transporters, mediates heme uptake by cells in a temperature-dependent and saturable manner and is indicated to be the long-sought intestinal heme transporter.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nicotianamine chelates both FeIII and FeII. Implications for metal transport in plants

TL;DR: Capillary electrophoresis showed that in the presence of FeII and FeIII, NA preferentially chelates FeII, indicating that the FeIINA complex is kinetically stable under aerobic conditions and suggests that NA will have an important role in scavenging Fe and protecting the cell from oxidative damage.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pseudomonas aeruginosa 4-Quinolone Signal Molecules HHQ and PQS Play Multifunctional Roles in Quorum Sensing and Iron Entrapment

TL;DR: Biophysical analysis revealed that 2-alkyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolones form complexes with iron(III) at physiological pH, and a secondary function for PQS in iron entrapment to facilitate siderophore-mediated iron delivery is revealed.
