Aconitase regulation of erythropoiesis correlates with a novel licensing function in erythropoietin-induced ERK signaling.
Erythroid development requires the action of erythropoietin (EPO) on committed progenitors to match red cell output to demand. In this process, iron acts as a critical cofactor, with iron deficiency blunting EPO-responsiveness of erythroid progenitors. Aconitase enzymes have recently been identified...
