Figure 3.
Effects of Baf and SA on the use of endosomal 59Fe for heme synthesis. Endosomal vesicles were loaded with 59Fe as described in Figure 1, and the cells were incubated at 37°C for the indicated time intervals. Baf (A) or SA (B) was included during the last 30 minutes of period 4 (Figure 1) and the entire period 5 (Figure 1) where indicated. The values are displayed as the percentage of the total cellular 59Fe as it was after the membrane-associated radioiron was displaced by 56Fe-Tf (Figure 1, end of period 4).
