Description: |
The final step of iron-sulfur protein assembly involves transfer of an iron-sulfur cluster from a cluster-donor to a cluster-acceptor protein []. This process is facilitated by a specialized chaperone system, which consists of a molecular chaperone from the Hsc70 family, HscA in E. coli, and a co-chaperone of the J-domain family, Hsc20/HscB (known as Jac1 in fungi) []. The co-chaperone HscB recruits the scaffold protein for Fe-S cluster biogenesis Isu1/IscU, guiding it to the chaperone HscA [, ], and enhances the intrinsic ATPase activity of the HscA []. |

Protein Domain |
Type: |
Homologous_superfamily |
Description: |
This superfamily represents the C-terminal oligomerisation domain found in HscB (heat shock cognate protein B), which is also known as HSC20 (20K heat shock cognate protein) and J-protein Jac1 in yeast mitochondria []. HscB acts as a co-chaperone to regulate the ATPase activity and peptide-binding specificity of the molecular chaperone HscA, also known as HSC66 (HSP70 class). HscB proteins contain two domains, an N-terminal J-domain, which is involved in interactions with HscA, connected by a short loop to the C-terminal oligomerisation domain; the two domains make contact through a hydrophobic interface. The core of the oligomerisation domain is thought to bind and target proteins to HscA and consists of an open, three-helical bundle []. HscB, along with HscA, has been shown to play a role in the biogenesis of iron-sulphur proteins. |

Protein Domain |
Type: |
Domain |
Description: |
This is the N-terminal domain of human co-chaperone protein HscB (hHscB). This domain is capable of binding a metal ion through its tetracysteine metal binding motif. The metal atom is coordinated by a set of four cysteine residues (Cys41, Cys44, Cys58 and Cys61) on opposed β-hairpins. Although the N-domain lacks anyrecognizable secondary structure elements, it has several distant structural homologs including C-4 zinc finger domains and rubredoxin []. |

Protein Domain |
Type: |
Homologous_superfamily |
Description: |
The ISC system is conserved in eubacteria and eukaryotes (mitochondria), and has broad specificity, targeting general FeS proteins [, ]. It is encoded by the isc operon (iscRSUA-hscBA-fdx-iscX). IscS is a cysteine desulphurase, which obtains S from cysteine (converting it to alanine) and serves as a S donor for FeS cluster assembly. IscU and IscA act as scaffolds to accept S and Fe atoms, assembling clusters and transfering them to recipient apoproteins. HscA is a molecular chaperone and HscB is a co-chaperone. Fdx is a [2Fe-2S]-type ferredoxin. IscR is a transcription factor that regulates expression of the isc operon. IscX (also known as YfhJ) appears to interact with IscS and may function as an Fe donor during cluster assembly [].This entry represents IscX proteins (also known as hypothetical protein YfhJ) that are part of the ISC system. IscX is active as a monomer. The structure of YfhJ is an orthogonal α-bundle []. YfhJ is a small acidic protein that binds IscS, and contains a modified winged helix motif that is usually found in DNA-binding proteins []. YfhJ/IscX can bind Fe, and may function as an Fe donor in the assembly of FeS clusters |

Description: |
Iron-sulphur (FeS) clusters are important cofactors for numerous proteins involved in electron transfer, in redox and non-redox catalysis, in gene regulation, and as sensors of oxygen and iron. These functions depend on the various FeS cluster prosthetic groups, the most common being [2Fe-2S]and [4Fe-4S][]. FeS cluster assembly is a complex process involving the mobilisation of Fe and S atoms from storage sources, their assembly into [Fe-S]form, their transport to specific cellular locations, and their transfer to recipient apoproteins. So far, three FeS assembly machineries have been identified, which are capable of synthesising all types of [Fe-S]clusters: ISC (iron-sulphur cluster), SUF (sulphur assimilation), and NIF (nitrogen fixation) systems.The ISC system is conserved in eubacteria and eukaryotes (mitochondria), and has broad specificity, targeting general FeS proteins [, ]. It is encoded by the isc operon (iscRSUA-hscBA-fdx-iscX). IscS is a cysteine desulphurase, which obtains S from cysteine (converting it to alanine) and serves as a S donor for FeS cluster assembly. IscU and IscA act as scaffolds to accept S and Fe atoms, assembling clusters and transfering them to recipient apoproteins. HscA is a molecular chaperone and HscB is a co-chaperone. Fdx is a [2Fe-2S]-type ferredoxin. IscR is a transcription factor that regulates expression of the isc operon. IscX (also known as YfhJ) appears to interact with IscS and may function as an Fe donor during cluster assembly [].The SUF system is an alternative pathway to the ISC system that operates under iron starvation and oxidative stress. It is found in eubacteria, archaea and eukaryotes (plastids). The SUF system is encoded by the suf operon (sufABCDSE), and the six encoded proteins are arranged into two complexes (SufSE and SufBCD) and one protein (SufA). SufS is a pyridoxal-phosphate (PLP) protein displaying cysteine desulphurase activity. SufE acts as a scaffold protein that accepts S from SufS and donates it to SufA []. SufC is an ATPase with an unorthodox ATP-binding cassette (ABC)-like component. SufA is homologous to IscA [], acting as a scaffold protein in which Fe and S atoms are assembled into [FeS]cluster forms, which can then easily be transferred to apoproteins targets.In the NIF system, NifS and NifU are required for the formation of metalloclusters of nitrogenase in Azotobacter vinelandii, and other organisms, as well as in the maturation of other FeS proteins. Nitrogenase catalyses the fixation of nitrogen. It contains a complex cluster, the FeMo cofactor, which contains molybdenum, Fe and S. NifS is a cysteine desulphurase. NifU binds one Fe atom at its N-terminal, assembling an FeS cluster that is transferred to nitrogenase apoproteins []. Nif proteins involved in the formation of FeS clusters can also be found in organisms that do not fix nitrogen [].This entry represents the HscA chaperone protein from the SUF system. HscA (or Hsc66) is a specialised bacterial Hsp70-class molecular chaperone that participates in the assembly of iron-sulphur cluster proteins. HscA resembles DnaK, but belongs to a separate clade. HscA interacts with IscU, which is believed to serve as a template for Fe-S cluster formation. The HscA-IscU interaction is facilitated by the J-type co-chaperone protein HscB (or Hsc20), which binds to both HscA and IscU, bringing them into contact with each other. HscA recognises a conserved LPPVK sequence motif at positions 99-103 of IscU []. |

IscX is active as a monomer. The structure of YfhJ is an orthogonal α-bundle []. YfhJ is a small acidic protein that binds IscS, and contains a modified winged helix motif that is usually found in DNA-binding proteins []. YfhJ/IscX can bind Fe, and may function as an Fe donor in the assembly of FeS clusters |
