Abstract
Desferrioxamine B (DFOB) was discovered in the late 1950s as a hydroxamic acid metabolite of the soil bacterium Streptomyces pilosus. The exquisite affinity of DFOB for Fe(III) identified its potential for removing excess iron from patients with transfusion-dependent hemoglobin disorders. Many studies have used semisynthetic chemistry to produce DFOB adducts with new properties and broad-ranging functions. More recent approaches in chemical biology have revealed some nuances of DFOB biosynthesis and discovered new DFOB-derived drugs and radiometal imaging agents. The current and potential applications of DFOB continue to inspire a rich body of chemical biology research focused on this bacterial metabolite.

Abstract
The empirical force field (EFF), developed by Prof. Lifson, was applied to the study of macrocyclic alkali ion carriers and to di- and tripodal and open chain siderophores and synthetic biomimetic molecules binding transition metals. The highly symmetric nature of these structures facilitated a favorable coordination geometry of the ligating groups about the metal, which helped organize the entire molecule into a fairly rigid structure. In our combined experimental-theoretical approach, EFF calculations were used to help predict likely candidates to synthesize, and provided a wealth of structural data to complement what we learned from the spectroscopic measurements, while feedback from these measurements allowed us to continue improving the EFF itself. The simple, highly modular design of the biomimetic analogs allowed rapid synthesis and systematic examination of a large number of related structures, as well as facilitating an efficient, piecewise conformational scanning for the theoretical calculations. In the early years, we focused on macrocyclic polylactones and lactams binding monovalent alkali ions, particularly the natural products enniatin and valinomycin, including inside a crystal lattice. Later we switched to bi- and tridentate siderophores, natural microbial iron carriers, and synthetic biomimetic analogs-in particular, of enterobactin, ferrichrome, and ferrioxamine B. Over the years a large number of biomimetic siderophores have been prepared, some active in a broad range of microorganisms while others are highly species specific. The results of this work have broad applications in many areas, including the design of novel drugs and antimicrobial agents, helical polymeric structures, and polynuclear metal complexes.

Abstract
Iron uptake systems often function as virulence factors in pathogenic organisms. Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen that infects immunocompromised hosts, such as AIDS patients or granulocytopenic bone marrow transplant recipients. Here we show that iron uptake from siderophores occurs in C. albicans and is mediated by one or more high-affinity transport systems. Iron carried on ferrioxamine B, triacethyl-fusarinine, ferrichrome, or ferricrocin was actively taken up via a high-affinity mechanism. The kinetic parameters of uptake were similar to those found in S. cerevisiae. Furthermore, for ferrichrome and ferrioxamine B, cellular uptake of fluorescent analogues was observed. In C. albicans, iron uptake from siderophores was regulated by iron availability, with iron deprivation inducing uptake. Serum exposure, which induces a morphogenic shift from yeast to filamentous forms known to be required for virulence, also resulted in induction of iron transport from ferrichrome-type siderophores. In a tup1/tup1 strain which grows constitutively in the filamentous form, iron transport was derepressed for all siderophores tested. The genes mediating uptake and utilization of iron from siderophores in C. albicans have not been identified; however, the transcript abundance for CaSIT1 was regulated in a manner consistent with the pattern of iron uptake from ferrichrome-type siderophores. Furthermore, CaSIT1 overexpression in S. cerevisiae resulted in inhibited siderophore iron uptake, suggesting that the expressed protein may interact with proteins of S. cerevisiae involved in iron uptake from siderophores. In summary, iron uptake from ferrichrome-type siderophores was induced in filamentous C. albicans, and a potential role of this iron acquisition system in pathogenicity should be considered.

Abstract
The non-reductive uptake of several siderophores (ferrioxamine B, ferrichrome, triacetylfusarinine C and ferricrocin) by various strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. Several aspects of siderophore transport were examined, including specificity of transport, regulation of transport and intracellular localization of the ferri-siderophores. Ferrioxamine B was taken up preferentially via the products of the SIT1 gene and triacetylfusarinine C by the TAF1 gene product, but the specificity was not absolute. Ferrichrome and ferricrocin uptake was not dependent on a single major facilitator superfamily (MFS) gene product. The apparent specificity of transport was strongly dependent on the genetic background of the cells. Non-reductive uptake of siderophores was induced under more stringent conditions (of iron deprivation) than was the reductive uptake of ferric citrate. Regulation of transport depended on the transcriptional factors Aft1 and Tup1/Ssn6. Cells disrupted for the TUP1 or SSN6 genes were constitutively derepressed for the uptake of ferrichrome, ferricrocin or ferrioxamine B, but not for the uptake of triacetylfusarinine C. Cells bearing the AFT1(up) mutation accumulated large amounts of ferric siderophores. Intracellular decomplexation of the siderophores occurred when transcription of the AFT1(up) gene was repressed. Ferrioxamine B and ferrichrome seemed to accumulate in an endosomal compartment, as shown by biochemical studies and by confocal microscopy study of cells loaded with a fluorescent derivative of ferrichrome. Endocytosis was, however, not involved in the non-reductive uptake of siderophores.

Abstract
In this study, we monitored and compared the uptake of iron in the fungus Ustilago maydis by using biomimetic siderophore analogs of ferrichrome, the fungal native siderophore, and ferrioxamine B (FOB), a xenosiderophore. Ferrichrome-iron was taken up at a higher rate than FOB-iron. Unlike ferrichrome-mediated uptake, FOB-mediated iron transport involved an extracellular reduction mechanism. By using fluorescently labeled siderophore analogs, we monitored the time course, as well as the localization, of iron uptake processes within the fungal cells. A fluorescently labeled ferrichrome analog, B9-lissamine rhodamine B, which does not exhibit fluorescence quenching upon iron binding, was used to monitor the entry of the compounds into the fungal cells. The fluorescence was found intracellularly 4 h after the application and later was found concentrated in two to three vesicles within each cell. The fluorescence of the fluorescently labeled FOB analog CAT18, which is quenched by iron, was visualized around the cell membrane after 4 h of incubation with the ferrated (nonfluorescent) compounds. This fluorescence intensity increased with time, demonstrating fungal iron uptake from the siderophores, which remained extracellular. We here introduce the use of fluorescent biomimetic siderophores as tools to directly track and discriminate between different pathways of iron uptake in cells.

Abstract
The ability to utilize siderophores of bacterial and fungal origin has been studied in wild-type and mutant strains of the enterobacterial genera Salmonella, Escherichia, Shigella, Moellerella, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Hafnia, Pantoea, Ewingella, Tatumella, Yersinia, and in the non-enterics Aeromonas, Pseudomonas and Aureobacterium. Although only a few representative strains were tested, the results show characteristic genus-specific differences in the utilization of hydroxamate and catecholate siderophores. Moreover, the different response to structural alterations of certain siderophore classes by some wild-type and mutant strains points to variable interacting receptor domains.
