 3-123 2.22e-73

FeS cluster assembly scaffold protein NifU, Clostridium type; NifU and NifS form a pair of iron-sulfur (FeS) cluster biosynthesis proteins much simpler than the ISC and SUF systems. Members of this protein family are a distinct group of NifU-like proteins, found always to a NifS-like protein and restricted to species that lack a SUF system. Typically, NIF systems service a smaller number of FeS-containing proteins than do ISC or SUF. Members of this particular branch typically are found, almost half the time, near the mnmA gene, involved in the carboxymethylaminomethyl modification of U34 in some tRNAs (see GenProp0704). While other NifU proteins are associated with nitrogen fixation, this family is not. [Biosynthesis of cofactors, prosthetic groups, and carriers, Other]

NifU-like N terminal domain; This domain is found in NifU in combination with pfam01106. This domain is found on isolated in several bacterial species. The nif genes are responsible for nitrogen fixation. However this domain is found in bacteria that do not fix nitrogen, so it may have a broader significance in the cell than nitrogen fixation. These proteins appear to be scaffold proteins for iron-sulfur clusters.

 2-114 5.86e-51

Iron-sulfur cluster scaffold-like proteins; IscU_like and NifU_like proteins. IscU and NifU function as a scaffold for the assembly of [2Fe-2S] clusters before they are transferred to apo target proteins. They are highly conserved and play vital roles in the ISC and NIF systems of Fe-S protein maturation. NIF genes participate in nitrogen fixation in several isolated bacterial species. The NifU domain, however, is also found in bacteria that do not fix nitrogen, so it may have wider significance in the cell. Human IscU interacts with frataxin, the Friedreich ataxia gene product, and incorrectly spliced IscU has been shown to disrupt iron homeostasis in skeletal muscle and cause myopathy.

 3-118 2.93e-46

Fe-S cluster assembly protein NifU; Three different but partially homologous Fe-S cluster assembly systems have been described: Isc, Suf, and Nif. The latter is associated with donation of an Fe-S cluster to nitrogenase in a number of nitrogen-fixing species. NifU, described here, consists of an N-terminal domain (pfam01592) and a C-terminal domain (pfam01106). Homologs with an equivalent domain archictecture from Helicobacter and Campylobacter, however, are excluded from this model by a high trusted cutoff. The model, therefore, is specific for NifU involved in nitrogenase maturation. The related model TIGR01999 homologous to the N-terminus of this model describes IscU from the Isc system as in E. coli, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Homo sapiens.

 1-115 1.48e-27

SUF system FeS assembly protein, NifU family; Three iron-sulfur cluster assembly systems are known so far. ISC is broadly distributed while NIF tends to be associated with nitrogenase in nitrogen-fixing bacteria. The most recently described is SUF, believed to be important to maintain the function during aerobic stress of enzymes with labile Fe-S clusters. It is fairly widely distributed. This family represents one of two different proteins proposed to act as a scaffold on which the Fe-S cluster is built and from which it is transferred.
