Iron-induced changes in rat liver isoferritins.


ABSTRACT: The effects of single and of multiple iron injection on the distribution of isoferritins was studied in rat liver with the aid of 14C-labelling either after or before iron treatment. Several effects of iron can be seen. Analysis of protein and labelling patterns show that it not only produces a disproportionate increase in the more-basic isoferritins, but may, in sufficient dose, actually lead to a decrease in the more-acidic isoferritins. Use of iron injection after radioactivity shows that it must give rise to post-assembly changes causing acidic isoferritins to become more basic. With a moderate iron dose this change is relatively slow, taking several hours, and seems to occur in addition to a differential stimulation of the synthesis of the more-basic isoferritins. With higher iron dosage the post-assembly changes may be so rapid that it is difficult to distinguish them from a switch in the pattern of synthesis.
