Abstract:Iron regulatory proteins (IRP) 1 and 2 are RNA-binding proteins that control cellular iron metabolism by binding to conserved RNA motifs called "iron-responsive elements" (IREs). The currently known IRP-binding mRNAs encode proteins involved in iron uptake, storage and release as well as e.g. heme synthesis. To systematically define the IRE/IRP regulatory network on a transcriptome-wide scale, IRP1/IRE and IRP2/IRE mRNP complexes were immunoselected and the mRNA composition was determined using microarrays. We identify 35 novel mRNAs that bind both IRP1 and IRP2, and also report for the first time cellular mRNAs with exclusive specificity for IRP-1 or -2. To further explore cellular iron metabolism at a system-wide level, we undertook proteomic analysis by pulsed SILAC in an iron-modulated mouse hepatic cell line and in bone marrow derived macrophages from IRP1- and IRP2-deficient mice. This work investigates cellular iron metabolism in unprecedented depth and defines a wide network of mRNAs and proteins with iron- and/or IRP-dependent regulation.
