Abstract

Iron-sulfur clusters are prosthetic groups composed of sulfur and iron that are found in respiratory chain complexes and numerous enzymes. Iron-sulfur clusters are synthesized in a multistep process that utilizes cysteine desulfurases, scaffold proteins, chaperones, and iron donors. Assembly of iron-sulfur clusters occurs in the mitochondrial matrix of mammalian cells, but cytosolic isoforms of three major mammalian iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly components have been found, raising the possibility that de novo iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis also occurs in cytosol. The human cysteine desulfurase, ISCS, has two isoforms, one of which targets to the mitochondria, whereas the other less abundant form is cytosolic and nuclear. The open-reading frame of cytosolic mammalian ISCS begins at the second AUG of the transcript and lacks mitochondrial targeting information. Yeast complementation experiments have suggested that the human cytosolic ISCS isoform (c-ISCS) cannot be functional. To evaluate function of c-ISCS, we overexpressed the human cytosolic ISCS in yeast Pichia pastoris and showed that the cytosolic form of ISCS is an active cysteine desulfurase that covalently binds 35S acquired from desulfuration of radiolabeled cystei...Continue Reading
