== Function == | |||
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/FRIH_HUMAN FRIH_HUMAN] Stores iron in a soluble, non-toxic, readily available form. Important for iron homeostasis. Has ferroxidase activity. Iron is taken up in the ferrous form and deposited as ferric hydroxides after oxidation. Also plays a role in delivery of iron to cells. Mediates iron uptake in capsule cells of the developing kidney (By similarity). | |||

== Publication Abstract from PubMed == | |||
Human H ferritin (HuHf) has excellent potential as a nanocarrier for the selective delivery of anticancer metal-based drugs to tumor cells. Here, we addressed the interaction of the gold monocarbene compound Au(NHC)Cl with HuHf by electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measurements, which provide the metalation state of the protein subunits and demonstrate the involvement of protein cysteines in gold binding. The adduct between Au(NHC)Cl and HuHf was studied by cryo-EM measurements, resulting in a high-resolution 3D density map at 1.51 A. The cryo-EM structure shows a novel tetranuclear gold(I) cluster, located in a surface pocket of each subunit where it is bound to Cys90 and Cys102. The short inter-metal distances are diagnostic of the occurrence of aurophilic interactions. The present work demonstrates the usefulness of cryo-EM to investigate the interactions between metal-based drugs and their protein targets/carriers, also leveraging the strong signal of transition metal ions. | |||
