RESUMO
Iron regulatory protein-1 (IRP-1), a central cytoplasmic regulator of cellular iron metabolism, is rapidly activated by oxidative stress to bind to mRNA iron-responsive elements. We have reconstituted the response of IRP-1 to extracellular H2O2 in a system derived from murine B6 fibroblasts permeabilized with streptolysin-O. This procedure allows separation of the cytosol from the remainder of the cells (cell pellet). IRP-1 in the cytosolic fraction fails to be directly activated by addition of H2O2. IRP-1 activation requires the presence of a nonsoluble, possibly membrane-associated component in the cell pellet. The streptolysin-O-based in vitro system faithfully recapitulates characteristic hallmarks of IRP-1 activation by H2O2 in intact cells. We show that the H2O2-mediated activation of IRP-1 is temperature dependent and sensitive to treatment with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (CIAP). Although IRP-1 activation is unaffected by addition of excess ATP or GTP to this in vitro system, it is negatively affected by the nonhydrolyzable nucleotide analogs adenylyl-imidodiphosphate and guanylyl-imidophosphate and completely blocked by ATP-γS and GTP-γS. The in vitro reconstitution of this oxidative stress-induced pathway has opened a different avenue for the biochemical dissection of the regulation of mammalian iron metabolism by oxidative stress. Our data show that H2O2 must be sensed to stimulate a pathway to activate IRP-1.
