Identifier

NFUA

Protein name

RecName: Full=Fe/S biogenesis protein nfuA;

Gene name

nfuA

FUNCTION: Involved in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. Binds a 4Fe-4S cluster, can transfer this cluster to apoproteins, and thereby intervenes in the maturation of Fe/S proteins. Could also act as a scaffold/chaperone for damaged Fe/S proteins (By similarity).

COFACTOR: Binds 1 4Fe-4S cluster per subunit. The cluster is presumably bound at the interface of two monomers (By similarity).

SUBUNIT: Homodimer (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nfuA family.
