Abstract excerpt
The assembly of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters is mediated by complex machinery. In several proteobacteria, this process involves ISC (Fe-S cluster assembly) machinery composed of at least six components also conserved in mitochondria from lower to higher eukaryotes. In nitrogen-fixing bacteria, another system, termed NIF (nitrogen fixation), is required for the maturation of nitrogenase. Here we report the...
