Cellular distribution and motion of essential magnetosome proteins expressed in mammalian cells

2023-12-20

Abstract excerpt

Magnetosomes are organelle-like structures within magnetotactic bacteria that store iron biominerals in membrane-bound vesicles. In the bacteria, formation of these structures is highly regulated by approximately 30 genes which are conserved throughout different species. To compartmentalize iron in mammalian cells for magnetic resonance imaging using gene-based contrast, we are introducing key magnetosome proteins...
