Interaction of the Streptomyces Wbl protein WhiD with the principal sigma factor σHrdB depends on the WhiD [4Fe-4S] cluster [PDF]
, 2020 The bacterial protein WhiD belongs to the Wbl family of iron–sulfur [Fe-S] proteins present only in the actinomycetes. In Streptomyces coelicolor, it is required for the late stages of sporulation, but precisely how it functions is unknown.

Iron–sulfur-protein biogenesis in eukaryotes
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, 2005 Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters (ISCs) are versatile, ancient co-factors of proteins that are involved in electron transport, enzyme catalysis and regulation of gene expression. The synthesis of ISCs and their insertion into apoproteins involves the function of complex cellular machineries.
