DR1440 is a potential iron efflux protein involved in maintenance of iron homeostasis and resistance of Deinococcus radiodurans to oxidative stress.


ABSTRACT: Iron acquisition by bacteria is well studied, but iron export from bacteria is less understood. Herein, we identified dr1440 with a P-type ATPase motif as a potential exporter of iron from Deinococcus radiodurans, a bacterium known for its extreme resistance to radiation and oxidants. The DR1440 was located in cell membrane as demonstrated by fluorescence labelling analysis. Mutation of dr1440 resulted in cellular accumulation of iron ions, and expression level of dr1440 was up-regulated significantly under iron ion or hydrogen peroxide stress in the wild-type strain, implicating DR1440 as a potential iron efflux protein. The dr1440 mutant displayed higher sensitivity to iron ions and oxidative stresses including hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, and gamma-ray irradiation compared with the wild-type strain. The high amount of iron in the mutant strain resulted in severe protein carbonylation, suggesting that DR1440 might contribute to intracellular protein protection against reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated from ferrous ion-mediated Fenton-reaction. Mutations of S297A and C299A led to intracellular accumulation of iron, indicating that S297 and C299 might be important functional residues of DR1440. Thus, DR1440 is a potential iron efflux protein involved in iron homeostasis and oxidative stress-resistance of D. radiodurans.
