A conserved motif liganding the [4Fe–4S] cluster in [4Fe–4S] fumarases prevents irreversible inactivation of the enzyme during hydrogen peroxide stress
Organisms have evolved two different classes of the ubiquitous enzyme fumarase: the [4Fe–4S] cluster-containing class I enzymes are oxidant-sensitive, whereas the class II enzymes are iron-free and therefore oxidant-resistant. When hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) attacks the most-studied [4Fe–4S] fumarases...
