Protein
Iron-sulfur cluster assembly scaffold protein IscU 1
Organism
Archaeoglobus fulgidus (strain ATCC 49558 / VC-16 / DSM 4304 / JCM 9628 / NBRC 100126)
Function
A scaffold on which IscS assembles Fe-S clusters. Subsequently gives the nascent cluster to other proteins. It is likely that Fe-S cluster coordination is flexible as the role of this complex is to build and then hand off Fe-S clusters (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the NifU family.
