Sulfur Administration in Fe–S Cluster Homeostasis
Antioxidants, 2021 Mitochondria are the key organelles of Fe–S cluster synthesis. They contain the enzyme cysteine desulfurase, a scaffold protein, iron and electron donors, and specific chaperons all required for the formation of Fe–S clusters.

Biophysical Characterization of Iron-Sulfur Proteins
Bio-Protocol, 2021 Iron-sulfur proteins are primordial catalysts and biological electron carriers that today drive major metabolic pathways across all forms of life. They can access a diversity of oxidation states and can mediate electron transfer over an extended range of

Iron–Sulfur Cluster Biogenesis and Iron Homeostasis in Cyanobacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are ancient and ubiquitous cofactors and are involved in many important biological processes. Unlike the non-photosynthetic bacteria, cyanobacteria have developed the sulfur utilization factor (SUF) mechanism as their main ...

Structure-function relationships of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis transcription factor WhiB1.
PLoS ONE, 2012 BackgroundMembers of the WhiB-like (Wbl) protein family possess iron-sulfur clusters and are implicated in the regulation of developmental processes in Actinomycetes. Mycobacterium tuberculosis possesses seven Wbl proteins.

Description of peptide bond planarity from high-resolution neutron crystallography
Biophysics and Physicobiology, 2023 Neutron crystallography is a highly effective method for visualizing hydrogen atoms in proteins. In our recent study, we successfully determined the high-resolution (1.2 Å) neutron structure of high-potential iron-sulfur protein, refining the coordinates

Down the Iron Path: Mitochondrial Iron Homeostasis and Beyond
Cells, 2021 Cellular iron homeostasis and mitochondrial iron homeostasis are interdependent. Mitochondria must import iron to form iron–sulfur clusters and heme, and to incorporate these cofactors along with iron ions into mitochondrial proteins that support ...

Cluster and fold stability of E. coli ISC-type ferredoxin.
PLoS ONE, 2013 Iron-sulfur clusters are essential protein prosthetic groups that provide their redox potential to several different metabolic pathways. Formation of iron-sulfur clusters is assisted by a specialised machine that comprises, among other proteins, a ...

Mechanism of Iron–Sulfur Cluster Assembly: In the Intimacy of Iron and Sulfur Encounter
Inorganics, 2020 Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are protein cofactors of a multitude of enzymes performing essential biological functions. Specialized multi-protein machineries present in all types of organisms support their biosynthesis.

Spectral decomposition of iron-sulfur clusters
Analytical Biochemistry, 2021 The near universal availability of UV-Visible spectrophotometers makes this instrument a highly exploited tool for the inexpensive, rapid examination of iron-sulfur clusters. Yet, the analysis of iron-sulfur cluster reconstitution experiments by UV-Vis spectroscopy is notoriously difficult due to the presence of broad, ill-defined peaks. Other types of
