A complex between biotin synthase and the iron-sulfur cluster assembly chaperone HscA that enhances in vivo cluster assembly.

15 Nov 2009 Biotin synthase (BioB) is an iron-sulfur enzyme that catalyzes the last step in biotin biosynthesis, the insertion of sulfur between the C6 and C9 atoms of dethiobiotin to complete the thiophane ring of biotin. Recent in vitro experiments suggest ... Read more...

Synergistic role of curli and cellulose in cell adherence and biofilm formation of attaching and effacing Escherichia coli and identification of Fis as a negative regulator of curli.

12 Nov 2009 Curli are adhesive fimbriae of Escherichia coli and Salmonella enterica. Expression of curli (csgA) and cellulose (bcsA) is co-activated by the transcriptional activator CsgD. In this study, we investigated the contribution of curli and cellulose to ... Read more...

The SufBCD Fe-S scaffold complex interacts with SufA for Fe-S cluster transfer.

8 Nov 2009 Iron-sulfur clusters are key iron cofactors in biological pathways ranging from nitrogen fixation to respiration. Because of the toxicity of ferrous iron and sulfide to the cell, in vivo Fe-S cluster assembly transpires via multiprotein biosynthetic ... Read more...
