Description | |
Background | Aconitase 1, also known as iron regulatory element binding protein 1 , is a cytosolic protein which binds to iron-responsive elements . IREs are stem-loop structures found in the 5 UTR of ferritin mRNA, and in the 3 UTR of transferrin receptor mRNA. The iron-induced binding to the IRE results in repression of translation of ferritin mRNA, and inhibition of degradation of the otherwise rapidly degrading transferrin receptor mRNA. Thus, IREB1 plays a central role in cellular iron homeostasis. It was also shown to have aconitase activity, and hence grouped with the aconitase family of enzymes. |
