Transferrin receptor 1 (R(D)) binds iron-loaded transferrin and allows its internalization in the cytoplasm. Human serum transferrin also forms complexes with metals other than iron, including uranium in the uranyl form (UO(2)(2+)). Can the uranyl-saturated transferrin (TUr(2)) follow the receptor-mediated iron-acquisition pathway? In cell-free assays, TUr(2) interacts with R(D) in two different steps. The first is fast, direct rate constant, k(1) = (5.2 +/- 0.8) x 10(6) M(-1) s(-1); reverse rate constant, k(-1) = 95 +/- 5 s(-1); and dissociation constant K(1) = 18 +/- 6 microM. The second occurs in the 100-s range and leads to an increase in the stability of the protein-protein adduct, with an average overall dissociation constant K(d) = 6 +/- 2 microM. This kinetic analysis implies in the proposed in vitro model possible but weak competition between TUr(2) and the C-lobe of iron-loaded transferrin toward the interaction with R(D).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007501 Iron A metallic element with atomic symbol Fe, atomic number 26, and atomic weight 55.85. It is an essential constituent of HEMOGLOBINS; CYTOCHROMES; and IRON-BINDING PROTEINS. It plays a role in cellular redox reactions and in the transport of OXYGEN. Iron-56,Iron 56
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D011485 Protein Binding The process in which substances, either endogenous or exogenous, bind to proteins, peptides, enzymes, protein precursors, or allied compounds. Specific protein-binding measures are often used as assays in diagnostic assessments. Plasma Protein Binding Capacity,Binding, Protein
D011990 Receptors, Transferrin Membrane glycoproteins found in high concentrations on iron-utilizing cells. They specifically bind iron-bearing transferrin, are endocytosed with its ligand and then returned to the cell surface where transferrin without its iron is released. Transferrin Receptors,Transferrin Receptor,Receptor, Transferrin

D013050 Spectrometry, Fluorescence Measurement of the intensity and quality of fluorescence. Fluorescence Spectrophotometry,Fluorescence Spectroscopy,Spectrofluorometry,Fluorescence Spectrometry,Spectrophotometry, Fluorescence,Spectroscopy, Fluorescence
D013816 Thermodynamics A rigorously mathematical analysis of energy relationships (heat, work, temperature, and equilibrium). It describes systems whose states are determined by thermal parameters, such as temperature, in addition to mechanical and electromagnetic parameters. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 12th ed) Thermodynamic
D014168 Transferrin An iron-binding beta1-globulin that is synthesized in the LIVER and secreted into the blood. It plays a central role in the transport of IRON throughout the circulation. A variety of transferrin isoforms exist in humans, including some that are considered markers for specific disease states.

D014501 Uranium A radioactive element of the actinide series of metals. It has an atomic symbol U, atomic number 92, and atomic weight 238.03. U-235 is used as the fissionable fuel in nuclear weapons and as fuel in nuclear power reactors.
D015703 Antigens, CD Differentiation antigens residing on mammalian leukocytes. CD stands for cluster of differentiation, which refers to groups of monoclonal antibodies that show similar reactivity with certain subpopulations of antigens of a particular lineage or differentiation stage. The subpopulations of antigens are also known by the same CD designation.
