Abstract In iron overload conditions such as thalassemia major and hereditary hemochromatosis, the iron-carrying capacity of plasma transferrin is exceeded, giving rise to non-transferrin-bound iron (NTBI). NTBI is taken up preferentially by the liver, and to a lesser extent, the kidney, pancreas, and heart. How NTBI is taken up by various tissues has been elusive. We recently demonstrated that the plasma membrane metal-ion transporter SLC39A14 (ZIP14) mediates NTBI uptake and iron loading of the liver and pancreas, but not the kidney, heart or most other tissues¹ Given that the heart is particularly susceptible to iron-related toxicity, we are currently investigating the contribution of other iron transporters to iron loading of this organ. Possible alternative cardiac iron importers include L-type and T-type calcium channels, divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1), and SLC39A8 (ZIP8). To examine the role of DMT1 and ZIP8 in cardiac iron metabolism, we generated mice with cardiomyocyte-specific disruption of DMT1 (Dmt1heart/heart) or ZIP8 (Zip8heart/heart). The mice were then crossed with hemojuvelin knockout (Hjv-/-) mice, a model of juvenile hemochromatosis characterized by high circulating levels of NTBI. Dmt1heart/heart mice were found to have cardiac non-heme iron concentrations that were 30% lower (P<0.01) than those of wild-type littermate controls at 6 weeks of age. Interestingly, however, double mutant Hjv-/-; Dmt1heart/heart mice accumulated more cardiac non-heme iron (3.9X control) than did single-mutant Hjv-/- mice (2.3X control) at 6 weeks of age. Cardiac-specific disruption of Zip8 did not affect cardiac non-heme iron concentrations under basal conditions or when mice were crossed with Hjv-/- mice. Collectively, these data indicate that DMT1 and ZIP8 are dispensable for iron loading of the heart in a mouse model of hemochromatosis. Our data additionally suggest that DMT1 may play a role in normal cardiac iron metabolism. Reference:Jenkitkasemwong S, Wang C, Coffey R, et al.

Abstract Glyceryl ether monooxygenase is a tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent membrane-bound enzyme which catalyses the cleavage of lipid ethers into glycerol and the corresponding aldehyde. Despite many different characterisation and purification attempts, so far no gene and primary sequence have been assigned to this enzyme. The seven other tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes can be divided in the family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases – comprising phenylalanine hydroxylase, tyrosine hydroxylase and the two tryptophan hydroxylases – and into the three nitric oxide synthases. We tested the influences of different metal ions and metal ion chelators on glyceryl ether monooxygenase, phenylalanine hydroxylase and nitric oxide synthase activity to elucidate the relationship of glyceryl ether monooxygenase to these two families. 1,10-Phenanthroline, an inhibitor of non-heme iron-dependent enzymes, was able to potently block glyceryl ether monooxygenase as well as phenylalanine hydroxylase, but had no effect on inducible nitric oxide synthase. Two tetrahydrobiopterin analogues, N5-methyltetrahydrobiopterin and 4-aminotetrahydrobiopterin, had a similar impact on glyceryl ether monooxygenase activity, as has already been shown for phenylalanine hydroxylase. These observations point to a close analogy of the role of tetrahydrobiopterin in glyceryl ether monooxygenase and in aromatic amino acid hydroxylases and suggest that glyceryl ether monooxygenase may require a non-heme iron for catalysis.
