Binding of yeast frataxin to the scaffold for Fe-S cluster biogenesis, Isu.
Friedreich ataxia is caused by reduced activity of frataxin, a conserved iron-binding protein of the mitochondrial matrix, thought to supply iron for formation of Fe-S clusters on the scaffold protein Isu. Frataxin binds Isu in an iron-dependent manner in vitro. However, the biological relevance of this interaction and whether in vivo the interaction between frataxin and Isu is mediated by adap...

متن کاملFrataxin, a molecule of mystery: trading stability for function in its iron-binding site.
What are the structural implications for iron binding by frataxin, the mitochondrial protein whose decreased expression results in Friedreich's ataxia? Though frataxin has been shown to be essential for proper handling of iron within mitochondria (e.g. for iron-sulfur cluster and haem biosynthesis), its exact molecular function remains unclear. In this issue of the Biochemical Journal, Correia ...
متن کاملIron-binding activity in yeast frataxin entails a trade off with stability in the alpha1/beta1 acidic ridge region.
Frataxin is a highly conserved mitochondrial protein whose deficiency in humans results in Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive ataxia and cardiomyopathy. Although its cellular function is still not fully clear, the fact that frataxin plays a crucial role in Fe-S assembly on the scaffold protein Isu is well accepted. In the present paper, we r...
متن کاملStudy of Nonenzymatic Glycation of Transferrin and its Effect on Iron -Binding Antioxidant Capacity
Objective(s) Nonenzymatic glycosylation (glycation) occurs in many macromolecules in aging and diabetes due to exposure of biomolecules to high level of glucose. Glycation can changes function, activities and structure of many biomolecules. Considering this important role of transferrin (Trf) in iron transport and antioxidant activity in plasma this study was carried out to investigate the eff...
