bacterioferritin

01/01/2018 - "We have extended these findings further by showing that a mutant lacking bacterioferritin stimulates poor protection against Schu S4 challenge in a mouse model of tularemia. "

06/01/2020 - "This study showed that bacterioferritin confers additional resistance to stress conditions, resulting in increased pathogenicity of Mycma during mice infection. "
01/01/2017 - "A total of 28 MAP proteins were identified, including bacterioferritin, β-lactamase and heparin-binding haemagglutinin (HBHA), a mycobacterial adhesin crucial for dissemination of infection."

10/01/2001 - "tuberculosis BfrB (bacterioferritin) at high levels. "
12/01/2017 - "Identification of mycobacterial bacterioferritin B for immune screening of tuberculosis and latent tuberculosis infection."
04/08/2011 - "Here, we report a 3.0 Å crystal structure of a ferritin, annotated as Bacterioferritin B (BfrB), from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis that continues to be one of the world's deadliest diseases. "
11/15/2021 - "Bacterial pathogens including Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis, encode a distinct subclass of ferritins called bacterioferritin (BfrA), which binds heme, the versatile redox cofactor, via coaxial, conserved methionine (M52) residues at its subunit-dimer interfaces. "
10/01/2012 - "tuberculosis synthesizes two iron storage proteins, a ferritin (BfrB) and a bacterioferritin (BfrA). "

08/01/1994 - "Iron deficiency leads to a decrease in bacterioferritin and iron overload leads to an increase. "
01/01/2021 - "In Pseudomonas aeruginosa Fe3+ is compartmentalized in bacterioferritin (BfrB), and its mobilization to the cytosol requires binding of a ferredoxin (Bfd) to reduce the stored Fe3+ and release the soluble Fe2+. Blocking the BfrB-Bfd complex in P. aeruginosa by deletion of the bfd gene triggers an irreversible accumulation of Fe3+ in BfrB, concomitant cytosolic iron deficiency and significant impairment of biofilm development. "
01/01/2017 - "Inhibiting the BfrB:Bfd interaction in Pseudomonas aeruginosa causes irreversible iron accumulation in bacterioferritin and iron deficiency in the bacterial cytosol."

01/01/2011 - "Tumor-specific induction of bacterioferritin-expression in colonized tumors resulted in contrast changes within the bacteria-colonized tumors. "
08/28/2022 - "A reduction in thioredoxin peroxidase (bacterioferritin co-migratory protein (bcp)) was observed in ulcer vs. gastritis and cancer vs. ulcer. "
