Abstract

The Escherichia coli yiiP gene encodes an iron transporter, ferrous iron efflux (FieF), which belongs to the cation diffusion facilitator family (CDF). Transcription of fieF correlated with iron concentration; however, expression appeared to be independent of the ferrous iron uptake regulator Fur. Absence of FieF led to decreased growth of E. coli cells in complex growth medium but only if fur was additionally deleted. The presence of EDTA was partially able to relieve this growth deficiency. Expression of fieF in trans rendered the double deletion strain more tolerant to iron. Furthermore, E. coli cells exhibited reduced accumulation of (55)Fe when FieF was expressed in trans. FieF catalyzed active efflux of Zn(II) in antiport with protons energized by NADH via the transmembrane pH gradient in everted membrane vesicles. Using the iron-sensitive fluorescent indicator PhenGreen-SK encapsulated in proteoliposomes, transmembrane fluxes of iron cations were measured with purified and reconstituted FieF by fluorescence quenching. This suggests that FieF is an iron and zinc efflux system, which would be the first example of iron detoxification by efflux in any organism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
