| Description | This entry represents Fe/S biogenesis protein NfuA from gammaproteobacteria. This protein is involved in iron-sulphur cluster biogenesis under severe conditions such as iron starvation or oxidative stress. It binds a 4Fe-4S cluster and can transfer this cluster to apoproteins, thereby intervening in the maturation of Fe/S proteins. NfuA could also act as a scaffold/chaperone for damaged Fe/S proteins [ , , ]. An older study designated this protein GntY and suggested a role for it and for the product of an adjacent gene, based on complementation studies, in gluconate utilization []. | Name | Fe/S biogenesis protein NfuA |
| Short Name | Fe/S_biogenesis_protein_NfuA | Type | Family |
