Abstract

Biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters is a cellular process which depends on complex protein machineries. Escherichia coli contains two such biosynthetic systems, ISC and SUF. In this review article we specifically make a presentation of the various Suf proteins and discuss the molecular mechanisms by which these proteins work together to assemble Fe and S atoms within a scaffold and to transfer the resulting cluster to target proteins.
