The Molecular Mechanism of Hepcidin-mediated Ferroportin Down-Regulation

Abstract: Ferroportin (Fpn) is the only known iron exporter in vertebrates. Hepcidin, a peptide secreted by the liver in response to iron or inflammation, binds to Fpn, inducing its internalization and degradation. We show that after binding of hepcidin, Fpn is tyrosine phosphorylated at the plasma membrane. Mutants of human Fpn that do not get internalized or that are internalized slowly show either absent or impaired phosphorylation. We identify adjacent tyrosines as the phosphorylation sites and show that mutation of… Show more

“…The consequences of such binding inside the cell remain to be investigated. The binding of ferroportin to hepcidin leads to phosphorylation of specific tyrosine residues on the transporter, a process obligatory for internalization [49]. After internalization, the transporter is dephosphorylated and subsequently ubiquitinated to initiate degradation.…”

“…Hepcidin is secreted by the liver and binds to a specific extracellular loop domain on ferroportin (18). This results in phosphorylation (19) of ferroportin on the cell surface, which in turn leads to internalization and proteasome-mediated degradation of ferroportin (17). …”

“…La Fpn tiene la propiedad de funcionar como proteína monomérica o dimérica (11,54,57,59). En los dominios citoplasmáticos de la proteína ocurre la fosforilación y la ubiquitinación, procesos necesarios para la degradación de la proteína por la hepcidina (Hpc) (54,(58)(59)(60)(61)(62). En el humano, la Fpn se sintetiza en la placenta, el hígado, el bazo, el corazón, los riñones, en la membrana basolateral del enterocito y en el citosol de las células del sistema reticuloendotelial (9,28,64).…”

“…La Fpn se comporta como un receptor de la Hpc; para formar el complejo Fpn-Hpc la Fpn debe ser fosforilada, lo que induce a la internalización, ubiquitinación y posterior degradación de la Fpn, interrumpiendo el flujo de hierro a la circulación (57)(58)(59)(60)(61)63,(66)(67)(68)(69). En cultivos celulares de ratón, se describió que al disminuir las concentraciones plasmáticas de hierro, también disminuye la sínte-sis de Hpc, hecho que permite el incremento de la Fpn y la salida de hierro a la circulación (57,60).…”
