(A) Confocal microscopy shows DMT1-I colocalization with γ-adaptin and both Ndfip1 and Ndfip2. (B) DMTI-I partially colocalises with GM130 and colocalises with Rab5 and Rab11 but not with Rab7. Scale bars represent 10 µm.

-
* indicates a significant difference between transfected and control CHO-DMT1-II cells (p<0.05). Open bar indicates CHO cells not expressing DMT1-II, closed bars indicate CHO-DMT1-II cells. Data expressed as mean ± SEM.

Iron (stained black) is seen accumulating in and around the villi in Ndfip1−/− duodenum.

-
DMT1 is known to be trafficked through recycling endosomes back to the plasma membrane or internalised and delivered to late endosomes. We propose that at the trans-Golgi network and its associated vesicles (γ-adaptin positive), DMT1 can interact with both Ndfips (dark blue) and WWP2 (pink), which leads to its ubiquitination and promotion of its degradation via the 26S proteasome and/or lysosome.
