Accession MF_01429
Dates 27-OCT-2005 (Created)

Data class Protein
Names Fe_S_insert_IscA



Identifier ISCA
Protein name
RecName: Full=Iron-binding protein iscA;
AltName: Full=Iron-sulfur cluster assembly protein;
Gene name iscA
FUNCTION: Is able to transfer iron-sulfur clusters to apo-ferredoxin. Multiple cycles of [2Fe2S] cluster formation and transfer are observed, suggesting that iscA acts catalytically. Recruits intracellular free iron so as to provide iron for the assembly of transient iron-sulfur cluster in iscU in the presence of iscS, L-cysteine and the thioredoxin reductase system trxA/trxB (By similarity).

case <FTGroup:1>
COFACTOR: Binds 2 iron ions per dimer. The dimer may bind additional iron ions (By similarity).
end case

SUBUNIT: Homodimer; may form tetramers and higher multimers (By similarity).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the hesB/iscA family.
