Intrinsic and extrinsic determinants of conditional localization of Mms6 to magnetosome organelles in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1

C. D. Bickley, A. Komeili

The paper investigates how Mms6 and MamD conditionally localize to magnetosomes in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1, showing that their cytosolic retention is controlled by MamN and their translocation depends on biomineralization conditions.

Magnetotactic bacteria accumulate a large pool of iron distinct from their magnetite crystals

M. Amor, A. Ceballos, J. Wan, C. P. Simon, A. T. Aron, C. Chang, F. Hellman, A. Komeili

This study quantifies iron pools in Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1, showing that magnetite contains at most 30% of total intracellular iron, with a large pool of unmineralized iron detected in the cytoplasm and magnetosomes.
