Identifier
ISCA
Protein name
RecName: Full=Iron-binding protein IscA;
AltName: Full=Iron-sulfur cluster assembly protein;
Gene name
iscA

Comments [?]

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.
case <FTGroup:1>
Cofactor Fe cation
Note: Binds 2 iron ions per dimer. The dimer may bind additional iron ions.
end case
Subunit Homodimer; may form tetramers and higher multimers.
Similarity Belongs to the HesB/IscA family.
