Abstract excerpt
Frataxin is a highly conserved protein from bacteria to mammals that has been proposed to participate in iron-sulfur cluster assembly and mitochondrial iron homeostasis. In higher organisms, the frataxin gene is nuclear-encoded and the protein is required for maintenance of normal mitochondrial iron levels and respiration. We describe here AtFH, a plant gene with significant homology to other members of the...
