摘要: Iron has a fundamental role in many metabolic processes, including electron transport, deoxyribonucleotide synthesis, oxygen transport and essential redox reactions involving haemoproteins Fe-S cluster proteins. Defective iron homeostasis results either deficiency or overload. Precise regulation of mitochondria is for haem biosynthesis, haemoglobin production protein assembly during red cell development. Here we describe zebrafish mutant, frascati (frs), that shows profound hypochromic anaemia erythroid maturation arrest owing to defects mitochondrial uptake. Through positional cloning, show the gene mutated frs mutant member vertebrate solute carrier family (SLC25) call mitoferrin (mfrn). mfrn highly expressed fetal adult haematopoietic tissues mouse. Erythroblasts generated from murine embryonic stem cells null Mfrn (also known as Slc25a37) with severely impaired incorporation 55Fe into haem. Disruption yeast orthologues, MRS3 MRS4, causes metabolism biogenesis. Murine rescues zebrafish, complements indicating function may be conserved. Our data functions principal importer biosynthesis erythroblasts.
