Function

DPS1_DEIRA Protects DNA from oxidative damage by sequestering intracellular Fe(2+) ion and storing it in the form of Fe(3+) oxyhydroxide mineral. One hydrogen peroxide oxidizes two Fe(2+) ions, which prevents hydroxyl radical production by the Fenton reaction (By similarity). Both oligomeric forms of dps exhibit ferroxidase activity and DNA binding. Dodecameric dps is capable of Fe(2+) oxidation/mineralization. Only dimeric dps affords efficient DNA protection against hydroxyl radical-mediated cleavage.[1]
