Cryo-EM structure of the human ferritin–transferrin receptor 1 complex

The human transferrin receptor 1 (CD71) is a transmembrane protein responsible for iron uptake. Here the authors present the 3.9 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of the CD71 ectodomain-human ferritin (H-Ft) complex and find that H-Ft binds a CD71 region different from the transferrin one that overlaps...
