The conserved structural core of proteins in the ferritin-like superfamily comprises a four-helix bundle that coordinates a pair of metal ions. The helices are arranged in a characteristic up-down–down-up topology. Shown here are representative structures from the ferritin (2za7A), bacterioferritin (1nfvA), and Dps (1o9rA) groups colored from (red) N-terminus to (blue) C-terminus (a) ferritin, (b) bacterioferritin, (c) Dps, (d) overlaid (ferritin, red; bacterioferritin, green; Dps, blue).
