Abstract excerpt
The sulfur mobilization machinery is required for the synthesis of iron-sulfur clusters and their insertion into client proteins in plastids. The final step relies on several iron-sulfur cluster transfer proteins, including NifU-like (NFU) proteins. In this study, we focused on the chloroplastic NFU1 from the green microalga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. It possesses an N-terminal putative endonuclease domain that...
