Abstract  

Iron is an essential trace element of life, ferroportin (Fpn) is the intestinal absorption of iron release of important cell proteins. Newly discovered antimicrobial peptide hepcidin secreted by the liver can regulate the important role of intestinal iron absorption, but still play a role in the lack of Fpn and experimental basis for hepcidin. So fluorescence resonance energy transfer technology (fluorescence resonance energy transfer, FRET) on the role of hepcidin and Fpn relationship between the depth study. First of all, were hepcidin-CFP fusion protein expression vector and identification; then with YFP, Fpn-YFP gene in animal cell expression vector, expression, and FRET detection. The results confirmed that hepcidin and Fpn direct interaction between, and found that two proteins interact in the cytoplasm after the distribution of hepcidin also. The results for the treatment of disorders of iron metabolism to provide a new and important theoretical basis for therapeutic strategies.
