Iron regulatory proteins (IRPs) control the translation of animal cell mRNAs encoding proteins with diverse roles. This includes the iron storage protein ferritin and the tricarboxylic cycle (TCA) enzyme mitochondrial aconitase (ACO2) through iron-dependent binding of IRP to the iron responsive element (IRE) in the 5' untranslated region (UTR). To further elucidate the mechanisms allowing IRPs to control translation of 5' IRE-containing mRNA differentially, we focused on Aco2 mRNA, which is weakly controlled versus the ferritins.

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common form of kidney cancer, is typically initiated by inactivation of the von Hippel Lindau (VHL) gene, which results in the constitutive activation of the hypoxia inducible factors, HIF-1α and HIF-2α. Using a high throughput screen, we identify novel compounds that decrease HIF-1/2α levels and induce ferroptosis by targeting Iron Sulfur Cluster Assembly 2 (ISCA2), a component of the late mitochondrial Iron Sulfur Cluster (L-ISC) assembly complex. ISCA2 inhibition either pharmacologically or using siRNA decreases HIF-2α protein levels by blocking iron-responsive element (IRE)-dependent translation, and at higher concentrations, also decreases HIF-1α translation through unknown mechanisms.

The development of thermogenic adipocytes concurs with mitochondrial biogenesis, an iron-dependent pathway. Iron regulatory proteins (IRP) 1 and 2 are RNA-binding proteins that regulate intracellular iron homeostasis. IRPs bind to the iron-response element (IRE) of their target mRNAs, balancing iron uptake and deposition at the posttranscriptional levels.

Transferrin receptor (TfR1) and divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) are important proteins for cellular iron uptake, and both are regulated transcriptionally through the binding of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1) to hypoxia-responsive elements (HREs) under hypoxic conditions. These proteins are also regulated post-transcriptionally through the binding of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) to iron-responsive elements (IREs) located in the mRNA untranslated region (UTR) to control cellular iron homeostasis. In iron-deficient cells, IRP1-IRE interactions stabilize TfR1 and DMT1 mRNAs, enhancing iron uptake.
