A Diverged Transcriptional Network for Usage of Two Fe-S Cluster Biogenesis Machineries in the Delta-Proteobacterium Myxococcus xanthus

ABSTRACT Myxococcus xanthus possesses two Fe-S cluster biogenesis machineries, ISC (iron-sulfur cluster) and SUF (sulfur mobilization). Here, we show that in comparison to the phylogenetically distant Enterobacteria, which also have both machineries, M. xanthus evolved an independent transcriptional...
