sufU | Iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein; Its function is controversial. Has been generally assumed to be an iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein , but more recent evidence suggest it is a sulfurtransferase rather than a scaffold assembly protein. Has been shown to bind low levels of a labile, air- sensitive Fe-S cluster; this can be assembled under anaerobic conditions from FeCl(3) and Li(2)S. Has been shown to be able to transfer this Fe-S cluster to an acceptor protein. Stimulates the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS, for which it acts as a second substrate. Alkyl [...] (147 aa) | ||||
fra | Frataxin; Possible global iron distributor for the cell. Promotes the biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe to the iron- sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein SufU. In the presence of SufS and L-cysteine reconstitutes Fe-S clusters on SufU, which when further incubated with apo-aconitase (citB) reconstitutes aconitase activity. Able to reconstitute an Fe-S cluster on Thermotoga maritima IscU. (123 aa) | ||||
fer | Ferredoxin; Ferredoxins are iron-sulfur proteins that transfer electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. This ferredoxin may act as a phosphodonor to cytochrome P450 BioI. (82 aa) |
