CIA secrets revealed: mechanistic insights into the early steps in the cytosolic iron sulfur cluster assembly pathway
Seminar | May 15 | 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. | 100 Lewis Hall
Deborah Perlstein, Department of Chemistry, Boston University
The cytosolic iron sulfur cluster assembly (CIA) scaffold is comprised of two homologous ATPases, called Nbp35 and Cfd1 in yeast. These proteins cooperate to build new [Fe4S4]-clusters destined for cytosolic and nuclear enzymes. Genetic studies have revealed that the ATPase sites are required for cluster biogenesis in vivo, but in vitro studies have failed to reveal why. Since several distantly... More >
