Abstract excerpt
IscU is a central component of the ISC machinery and serves as a scaffold for de novo assembly of Fe-S clusters. The dedicated chaperone system composed of the Hsp70-chaperone HscA and the J-protein cochaperone HscB synergistically interacts with IscU and facilitates cluster transfer from IscU to recipient apo-proteins. Here, we report that the otherwise essential roles of HscA and HscB can be bypassed in vivo by...
