Iron uptake from Fe/ascorbate by mouse brush-border membrane vesicles is not greatly inhibited by prior treatment with a variety of protein-modification reagents or heat. Non-esterified fatty acid levels in mouse proximal small intestine brush-border membrane vesicles show a close positive correlation with initial Fe uptake rates. Loading of rabbit duodenal brush-border membrane vesicles with oleic acid increases Fe uptake. Depletion of mouse brush-border membrane vesicle fatty acids by incubation with bovine serum albumin reduces Fe uptake. Iron uptake by vesicles from Fe/ascorbate is enhanced in an O2-free atmosphere. Iron uptake from Fe/ascorbate and Fe3+-nitrilotriacetate (Fe3+-NTA) were closely correlated. Incorporation of oleic acid into phosphatidylcholine/cholesterol (4:1) liposomes leads to greatly increased permeability to Yb3+, Tb3+, Fe2+/Fe3+ and Co2+. Ca2+ and Mg2+ are also transported by oleic acid-containing liposomes, but at much lower rates than transition and lanthanide metal ions. Fe3+ transport by various non-esterified fatty acids was highest with unsaturated acids. The maximal transport rate by saturated fatty acids was noted with chain length C14-16. It is suggested that Fe transport can be mediated by formation of Fe3+ (fatty acid)3 complexes.
