Abstract excerpt
Bacterial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are essential cofactors for many metabolic pathways, and Fe-S cluster-containing proteins (Fe-S proteins) regulate the expression of various important genes. However, biosynthesis of such clusters has remained unknown in genus Burkholderia. Here, we clarified that Burkholderia multivorans ATCC 17616 relies on the ISC system for the biosynthesis of Fe-S clusters, and that the...
