Abstract excerpt
Interconversion of iron regulatory protein 1 (IRP1) with cytosolic aconitase (c-aconitase) occurs via assembly/disassembly of a [4Fe-4S] cluster. Recent evidence implicates oxidants in cluster disassembly. We investigated H(2)O(2)-initiated Fe-S cluster disassembly in c-aconitase expressed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A signal for [3Fe-4S] c-aconitase was detected by whole-cell EPR of aerobically grown, aco1...
