Dcytb (Cybrd1) functions as both a ferric and a cupric reductase in vitro
Abstract
MDCK cells expressing an inducible duodenal cytochrome b-green fluorescent protein (Dcytb-EGFP) fusion construct were used to investigate the function of Dcytb. The Dcytb-EGFP protein was _targeted correctly to the plasma membrane, and cells displayed increased ferric and cupric reductase activities, which were greatly reduced in the presence of doxycycline. The data suggests that Dcytb plays a physiological role in both iron and copper uptake, through divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) and copper transporter 1, respectively. In support of this hypothesis, we show that 59Fe uptake was significantly enhanced in Dcytb-EGFP expressing MDCK cells which endogenously express DMT1.
