Functional transitions of the Aspergillus fumigatus iron regulator HapX are governed by conserved domains cooperatively binding [2Fe-2S] clusters

Abstract excerpt
Accurate sensing of cellular iron levels is vital, as this metal is essential but toxic in excess. The iron-sensing transcription factor HapX is crucial for virulence of Aspergillus fumigatus, the predominant human mold pathogen. Its absence impairs growth under iron limitation and excess, but not under moderate iron availability, suggesting that HapX switches between three states to adapt to varying iron...
