Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Salmonella enterica lacking apbC have nutritional and biochemical properties indicative of defects in iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) cluster metabolism. An apbC mutant is unable to grow on tricarballylate as a carbon source. Based on the ability of ApbC to transfer an [Fe-S] cluster to an apoprotein, this defect was attributed to poor loading of the [Fe-S] cluster-containing TcuB enzyme. Consistent with these...
