Characterization of [4Fe-4S]-containing and cluster-free forms of Streptomyces WhiD.
WhiD, a member of the WhiB-like (Wbl) family of iron-sulfur proteins found exclusively within the actinomycetes, is required for the late stages of sporulation in Streptomyces coelicolor. Like all other Wbl proteins, WhiD has not so far been purified in a soluble form that contains a significant amount of cluster, and characterization has relied on cluster-reconstituted protein. Thus, a major g...
متن کاملSubcellular compartmentalization of human Nfu, an iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein, and its ability to assemble a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters serve as cofactors in many proteins that have important redox, catalytic, and regulatory functions. In bacteria, biogenesis of Fe-S clusters is mediated by multiple gene products encoded by the isc and nif operons. In particular, genetic and biochemical studies suggest that IscU, Nfu, and IscA function as scaffold proteins for assembly and delivery of rudimentary Fe-...
متن کاملNonredox thiolation in tRNA occurring via sulfur activation by a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
Sulfur is present in several nucleosides within tRNAs. In particular, thiolation of the universally conserved methyl-uridine at position 54 stabilizes tRNAs from thermophilic bacteria and hyperthermophilic archaea and is required for growth at high temperature. The simple nonredox substitution of the C2-uridine carbonyl oxygen by sulfur is catalyzed by tRNA thiouridine synthetases called TtuA. ...
متن کاملIscR, an Fe-S cluster-containing transcription factor, represses expression of Escherichia coli genes encoding Fe-S cluster assembly proteins.
IscR (iron-sulfur cluster regulator) is encoded by an ORF located immediately upstream of genes coding for the Escherichia coli Fe-S cluster assembly proteins, IscS, IscU, and IscA. IscR shares amino acid similarity with MarA, a member of the MarA/SoxS/Rob family of transcription factors. In this study, we found that IscR functions as a repressor of the iscRSUA operon, because strains deleted f...
متن کاملFeoC from Klebsiella pneumoniae contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster.
Iron is essential for pathogen survival, virulence, and colonization. Feo is suggested to function as the ferrous iron (Fe(2+)) transporter. The enterobacterial Feo system is composed of 3 proteins: FeoB is the indispensable component and is a large membrane protein likely to function as a permease; FeoA is a small Src homology 3 (SH3) domain protein that interacts with FeoB; FeoC is a winged-h...
