Abstract

Fermodulin (I), the Fe-dependent inhibitor protein of rat liver microsomal hydroxymethylglutamyl-CoA reductase, is shown to interact with Fe. I had 1 specific site for $Fe^{2+}$ per mole, as determined by binding of radio labeled Fe and also by fluorescence quenching in a HEPES buffer system. In the presence of Tris buffer, however, 2 sites for binding Fe were observed 1 of which appeared to bind $Fe^{3+}$.
