1. 26. The complex world of proteins: Structure, function, and oligomerization of frataxin

   Författare :Christopher Söderberg; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Frataxin; Friedreich s ataxia; self-assembly; protein-protein interaction; iron homeostasis; SAXS; cross-linking;

   Sammanfattning : Patients suffering from the deadly progressive neurodegenerative disease Friedreich's ataxia have reduced levels of expression of the protein frataxin. Yeast frataxin has been extensively studied in vitro, and has been shown to deliver iron to heme and iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis, as well as to oligomerize in the presence of iron. LÄS MER

3. 27. Organic acids in root exudates and soil solutions. Importance to calcicole and calcifuge behaviour of plants

   Författare :Lena Ström; Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nutrient-solubilisation; iron; phosphate; nutrient-limitations; citrate; oxalate; organic acids; root exudation; acidifuge; Calcicole; calcifuge; adaptations.; Plant ecology; Växtekologi;

   Sammanfattning : Many vascular plant species are unable to colonise calcareous sites, the floristic composition of adjacent limestone and acid silicate soils differing markedly. The inability of these 'calcifuge' species to establish themselves and grow on limestone soil appears to mainly be related to their low capacity for solubilising and absorbing phosphate and/or iron from such soils.

4. 28. Structural Insights into the Acquisition and Storage of Iron

   Författare :Ulrika Schagerlöf; Biokemi och Strukturbiologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Strukturkemi; Molecular biophysics; Molekylär biofysik; Structure chemistry; single particle; ferric reductase; human phagocyte superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase; frataxin; cryo electron microscopy; FRO2; iron homeostasis; iron acquisition;

   Sammanfattning : It is of vital importance to understand the systems for iron metabolism and this thesis contributes to this by providing insights into the structure and function of the acquisition and homeostasis of iron. The two proteins that have been primarily investigated are a ferric reductase from Arabidopsis thaliana called FRO2 and a mitochondrial iron chaperone from Saccharomyces cerevisiae called frataxin.

5. 29. Fate of riverine iron over estuarine salinity gradients

   Författare :Simon Herzog; Enhet akvatisk ekologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; iron Fe ; Organic matter; boreal rivers; XAS; DLS; Fe isotope;

   Sammanfattning : Rivers have traditionally not been considered important sources of bioavailable iron (Fe) to the marine waters, since most Fe is lost by salinity-induced aggregation and sedimentation during estuarine mixing. However, recent studies from boreal rivers found a remarkably high Fe stability, probably due to the interaction with organic matter. LÄS MER

7. 30. Genomics, physiology and applications of cold tolerant acidophiles

   Författare :Maria Liljeqvist; Mark Dopson; Ricardo Amilis; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Psychrotolerant acidophiles have gained increasing interest because of their importance in biomining operations in environments where the temperature falls well below 10°C during large parts of the year.Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans is the only characterized acidophile with the ability to live a psychrotrophic lifestyle and is able to oxidize ferrous iron and inorganic sulfur compounds at low temperature.
