<i>Leishmania</i> infection triggers hepcidin-mediated proteasomal degradation of Nramp1 resulting in increased phagolysosomal iron availability
2019-10-28
Abstract excerpt
Natural resistance associated macrophage protein 1 (Nramp1) was discovered as a genetic determinant of resistance against multiple intracellular pathogens, including Leishmania . It encodes a transmembrane protein of the phago-endosomal vesicles, where it functions as an iron transporter. But how Nramp1 expression is regulated in an infected macrophage is unknown. Its role in controlling iron availability to the...
