Abstract |
Iron-sulfur clusters are ubiquitous inorganic co-factors that contribute to a wide range of cell pathways including the maintenance of DNA integrity, regulation of gene expression and protein translation, energy production, and antiviral response. Specifically, the iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis pathways include several proteins dedicated to the maturation of apoproteins in different cell compartments. Given the complexity of the biogenesis process itself, the iron-sulfur research area constitutes a very challenging and interesting field with still many unaddressed questions. Mutations or malfunctions affecting the iron-sulfur biogenesis machinery have been linked with an increasing amount of disorders such as Friedreich's ataxia and various cardiomyopathies. This review aims to recap the recent discoveries both in the yeast and human iron-sulfur cluster arena, covering recent discoveries from chemistry to disease. |
