Description: Uniprot:Q9H1K1 Alternative Names： Specificity TD12158 ISCU Antibody Order 021-34695924 [email protected] Support 400-6123-828 50ul [email protected] 100 uL √ √ Web www.ab-mart.com.cn Description: Scaffold protein for the de novo synthesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters within mitochondria, which is required for maturation of both mitochondrial and cytoplasmic [2Fe- 2S] and [4Fe-4S] proteins. First, a [2Fe-2S] cluster is transiently assembled on the scaffold protein ISCU. In a second step, the cluster is released from ISCU, transferred to a glutaredoxin GLRX5, followed by the formation of mitochondrial [2Fe-2S] proteins, the synthesis of [4Fe-4S] clusters and their target-specific insertion into the recipient apoproteins. Cluster assembly on ISCU depends on the function of the cysteine desulfurase complex NFS1-LYRM4/ISD11, which serves as the sulfur donor for cluster synthesis, the iron-binding protein frataxin as the putative iron donor, and the electron transfer chain comprised of ferredoxin reductase and ferredoxin, which receive their electrons from NADH (By similarity).Functions as a cytoplasmic scaffold protein for the de novo synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters in the cytoplasm.

The core machinery for de novo ISC biosynthesis, located in the mitochondria matrix, is a five- protein complex containing the cysteine desulfurase NFS1 that is activated by frataxin (FXN), scaffold protein ISCU, accessory protein ISD11, and acyl-carrier protein ACP.

Abstract: Iron and sulfur are two essential elements for all organisms. These elements form the Fe-S clusters that are present as cofactors in numerous proteins and protein complexes related to key processes in cells, such as respiration and photosynthesis, and participate in numerous enzymatic reactions. In photosynthetic organisms, the ISC and SUF Fe-S cluster synthesis pathways are located in organelles, mitochondria, and chloroplasts, respectively. There is also a third biosynthetic machinery in the cytosol (CIA) that is dependent on the mitochondria for its function. The genes and proteins that participate in these assembly pathways have been described mainly in bacteria, yeasts, humans, and recently in higher plants. However, little is known about the proteins that participate in these processes in algae. This review work is mainly focused on releasing the information on the existence of genes and proteins of green algae (chlorophytes) that could participate in the assembly process of Fe-S groups, especially in the mitochondrial ISC and CIA pathways.

  • Structure and Functional Dynamics of the Mitochondrial Fe/S Cluster Synthesis Complex
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-017-01497-1 OPEN Structure and functional dynamics of the mitochondrial Fe/S cluster synthesis complex Michal T. Boniecki1, Sven A. Freibert 2, Ulrich Mühlenhoff2, Roland Lill 2,3 & Miroslaw Cygler 1,4 Iron–sulfur (Fe/S) clusters are essential protein cofactors crucial for many cellular functions including DNA maintenance, protein translation, and energy conversion. De novo Fe/S cluster synthesis occurs on the mitochondrial scaffold protein ISCU and requires cysteine 1234567890 desulfurase NFS1, ferredoxin, frataxin, and the small factors ISD11 and ACP (acyl carrier protein). Both the mechanism of Fe/S cluster synthesis and function of ISD11-ACP are poorly understood. Here, we present crystal structures of three different NFS1-ISD11-ACP complexes with and without ISCU, and we use SAXS analyses to define the 3D architecture of the complete mitochondrial Fe/S cluster biosynthetic complex. Our structural and biochemical studies provide mechanistic insights into Fe/S cluster synthesis at the catalytic center defined by the active-site Cys of NFS1 and conserved Cys, Asp, and His residues of ISCU. We assign specific regulatory rather than catalytic roles to ISD11-ACP that link Fe/S cluster synthesis with mitochondrial lipid synthesis and cellular energy status. 1 Department of Biochemistry, University of Saskatchewan, 107 Wiggins Road, Saskatoon, SK, Canada S7N 5E5. 2 Institut für Zytobiologie und Zytopathologie, Philipps-Universität, Robert-Koch-Strasse 6, 35032 Marburg, Germany. 3 LOEWE Zentrum für Synthetische Mikrobiologie SynMikro, Hans- Meerwein-Strasse, 35043 Marburg, Germany. 4 Department of Biochemistry, McGill University, 3649 Promenade Sir William Osler, Montreal, QC, Canada H3G 0B1.
