Iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) and IRP2 are cytoplasmic RNA binding proteins that are central regulators of mammalian iron homeostasis. We investigated the time-dependent effect of dietary iron deficiency on liver IRP activity in relation to the abundance of ferritin and the iron-sulfur protein mitochondrial aconitase (m-acon), which are targets of IRP action. Rats were fed a diet containing 2 or 34 mg iron/kg diet for 1-28 d. Liver IRP activity increased rapidly in rats fed the iron-deficient diet with IRP1 stimulated by d 1 and IRP2 by d 2. The maximal activation of IRP2 was five-fold (d 7) and three-fold (d 4) for IRP1. By d 4, liver ferritin subunits were undetectable and m-acon abundance eventually fell by 50% (P < 0.05) in iron-deficient rats. m-Acon abundance declined most rapidly from d 1 to 11 and in a manner that was suggestive of a cause and effect type of relationship between IRP activity and m-acon abundance. In liver, iron deficiency did not decrease the activity of cytosolic aconitase, catalase or complex I of the electron transport chain nor was there an effect on the maximal rate of mitochondrial oxygen consumption with the use of malate and pyruvate as substrates. Thus, the decline in m-acon abundance in iron deficiency is not reflective of a global decrease in liver iron-sulfur proteins nor does it appear to limit ATP production. Our results suggest a novel role for m-acon in cellular iron metabolism. We conclude that, in liver, iron deficiency preferentially affects the activities of IRPs and the targets of IRP action.
