Description
|
Ferritin is the major iron storage protein complex in eukaryotic cells, consisting of24 ferritin subunit polypeptides. In Chlamydomonas reinhardtii 2 isoforms, ferritin1(Fer1) and ferritin2 (Fer2) are present. Both are plastid localized but Fer1 isquantitatively recovered in soluble extracts of cells while Fer2 is found in theparticulate fraction. Partial purification of the Fer1 complex indicates that the twoferritins are associated in distinct complexes and do not coassemble. The ratio ofFer1 to Fer2 in iron-replete cells is 70:1 and indicates a more dominant role ofFer1 in iron homeostasis.
