| Abstract | Ferric binding protein, Fbp, serves an essential biological function in shuttling naked (hydrated) Fe3+ across the periplasmic space of many Gram-negative bacteria. In this process, iron must be released at the cytoplasmic membrane to a permease. How iron is released from Fbp has yet to be resolved. Consequently, understanding the dynamics of iron release from Fbp is of both biological and chemical interest. Fbp requires an exogenous anion, e.g. phosphate when isolated from cell lysates, for tight iron sequestration. To address the role of exogenous anion identity and lability on Feaq 3+ dissociation from Fbp, the kinetics of PO4 3− exchange in Fe3+ nFbp(PO4) (nFbp=recombinant Fbp from Neisseria meningitidis) were investigated by dynamic 31P NMR and the kinetics of Fe3+ dissociation from Fe3+ nFbp(X) (X=PO4 3−, citrate anion) were investigated by stopped-flow pH-jump measurements. We justify the use of non-physiological low-pH conditions because a high [H+] will drive the Feaq 3+ dissociation reaction to completion without using competing chelators, whose presence may complicate or influence the dissociation mechanism. For perspective, these studies of nFbp (which has been referred to as a bacterial transferrin) are compared to new and previously published kinetic and thermodynamic data for mammalian transferrin. Significantly, we address the lability of the Fe3+ coordination shell in nFbp, Fe3+ nFbp(X) (X=PO4 3−, citrate), with respect to exogenous anion (X n−) exchange and dissociation, and ultimately complete dissociation of the protein to yield naked (hydrated) Feaq 3+. These findings are a first step in understanding the process of iron donation to the bacterial permease for transport across the cytoplasmic membrane. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
