Fig. 5. Postulated assembly and Fe(II) oxidation pathway of mYfh1p multimer.

Fig. 5

The black dots symbolize free and protein-bound Fe(II) that is progressively oxidized to Fe(III) inside the protein. Because Fe(II) is in large excess of mYfh1p, ferroxidation is expected to be rapidly overcome by autoxidation. The open squares symbolize the nucleation sites upon which autoxidation may occur (see text for details).
