Abstract

The reaction of oxygen with protein diiron sites is important in bioorganic syntheses and biomineralization. An unusually short Fe-Fe distance of 2.53 angstroms was found in the diiron (μ-1,2 peroxodiferric) intermediate that forms in the early steps of ferritin biomineralization. This distance suggests the presence of a unique triply bridged structure. The Fe-Fe distances in the μ-1,2 peroxodiferric complexes that were characterized previously are much longer (3.1 to 4.0 angstroms). The 2.53 angstrom Fe-Fe distance requires a small Fe-O-O angle (∼106° to 107°). This geometry should favor decay of the peroxodiferric complex by the release of H 2 O 2 and μ-oxo or μ-hydroxo diferric biomineral precursors rather than by oxidation of the organic substrate. Geometrical differences may thus explain how diiron sites can function either as a substrate (in ferritin biomineralization) or as a cofactor (in O 2 activation).

4. Animals produce H- L- and M-type ferritin subunits; the H and M types have a functional diiron site. The subunits coassemble to form cell-specific mixtures. Although the functional significance of the subunit ratio is not fully understood this ratio is controlled precisely and is fixed at the time of cell differentiation. Plants and bacteria appear to have only a single ferritin subunit of the H type which contains a functional diiron site.
