Structural highlights
FunctionDPS1_BACAN 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 Fe(2+) ion (By similarity). It is capable of binding and sequestering Fe(2+) ion. Does not bind DNA. Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. |
