Evidence the Isc iron–sulfur cluster biogenesis machinery is the source of iron for [NiFe]-cofactor biosynthesis in Escherichia coli

Abstract [NiFe]-hydrogenases have a bimetallic NiFe(CN)2CO cofactor in their large, catalytic subunit. The 136 Da Fe(CN)2CO group of this cofactor is preassembled on a distinct HypC–HypD scaffold complex, but the intracellular source of the iron ion is unresolved. Native mass spectrometric analysis...
