Tóm tắt

Ferritins, an ancient family of protein nanocages, concentrate iron in iron–oxy minerals for iron–protein biosynthesis and protection against oxy radical damage. Of the two genetic mechanisms that regulate rates of ferritin-L synthesis, DNA transcription and mRNA translation, more is known about mRNA regulation where iron targets complexes of an mRNA structure, the iron-responsive element (IRE) sequence, and ferritin IRE repressors (iron regulatory proteins 1 and 2). Neither the integration of mRNA and DNA regulation nor the ferritin-L DNA promoter are well studied. We now report the combined effects of DNA transcription and mRNA translation regulation of ferritin-L synthesis. First, the promoter of human ferritin-L, encoding the animal-specific subunit associated with human diseases, was identified, and contained an overlapping Maf recognition element (MARE) and antioxidant responsive element (ARE) that was positively regulated by tert -butylhydroquinone, sulforaphane, and hemin with responses comparable to thioredoxin reductase (ARE regulator) or quinone reductase (MARE/ARE regulator). Iron, a poor regulator of the ferritin-L promoter, was 800 times less effective than sulforaphane. Combining the ferritin-L MARE/ARE and IRE produced a response to hemin that was 3-fold greater than the sum of responses of the MARE/ARE or IRE alone. Regulation of ferritin-L by a MARE/ARE DNA sequence emphasizes the importance of ferritin-L in oxidative stress that complements the mRNA regulation in iron stress. Combining DNA and mRNA mechanisms of regulation, as for ferritin-L, illustrates the advantages of using two types of genetic targets to achieve sensitive responses to multiple signals.
