Iron-sulfur cluster assembly: NifU-directed activation of the nitrogenase Fe protein.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 7 May 2004

Dos Santos Patricia C, Smith Archer D, Frazzon Jeverson, Cash Valerie L, Johnson Michael K, Dean Dennis R

Abstract excerpt

The NifU protein is a homodimer that is proposed to provide a molecular scaffold for the assembly of [Fe-S] clusters uniquely destined for the maturation of the nitrogenase catalytic components. There are three domains contained within NifU, with the N-terminal domain exhibiting a high degree of...
