Glutaredoxin GRXS17 associates with the cytosolic iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway [PDF]
, 2016 Cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxins (GRXs) are required in iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster delivery and iron sensing in yeast and mammals. In plants, it is unclear whether they have similar functions.

Recent Advances in Our Understanding of the Biosynthesis of Sulfur Modifications in tRNAs
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Sulfur is an essential element in all living organisms. In tRNA molecules, there are many sulfur-containing nucleosides, introduced post-transcriptionally, that function to ensure proper codon recognition or stabilization of tRNA structure, thereby ...

The pio Operon Is Essential for Phototrophic Fe(II) Oxidation in Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1 [PDF]
, 2006 Phototrophic Fe(II)-oxidizing bacteria couple the oxidation of ferrous iron [Fe(II)] to reductive CO2 fixation by using light energy, but until recently, little has been understood about the molecular basis for this process. Here we report the discovery,

A
mBio, 2019 BolA family proteins are conserved in Gram-negative bacteria and many eukaryotes. While diverse cellular phenotypes have been linked to this protein family, the molecular pathways through which these proteins mediate their effects are not well described.

Low-energy spectrum of iron-sulfur clusters directly from many-particle quantum mechanics [PDF]
, 2014 FeS clusters are a universal biological motif. They carry out electron transfer, redox chemistry, and even oxygen sensing, in diverse processes including nitrogen fixation, respiration, and photosynthesis. The low-lying electronic states are key to their

Structures and functions of mitochondrial ABC transporters [PDF]
, 2015 A small number of physiologically important ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters are found in mitochondria. Most are half transporters of the B group forming homodimers and their topology suggests they function as exporters.

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

Clinical, biochemical, and genetic spectrum of seven patients with NFU1 deficiency [PDF]
, 2015 Disorders of the mitochondrial energy metabolism are clinically and genetically heterogeneous. An increasingly recognized subgroup is caused by defective mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biosynthesis, with defects in 13 genes being linked to ...
