Abstract excerpt
Understanding the biogenesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) proteins is relevant to many fields, including bioenergetics, gene regulation, and cancer research. Several multiprotein complexes assisting Fe-S assembly have been identified in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Here, we identify in Escherichia coli an A-type Fe-S protein that we named ErpA. Remarkably, erpA was found essential for growth of E. coli in the...
