Human lipoyl synthase (LIAS) is an enzyme containing two [4Fe-4S] clusters (named FeSRSand FeSaux) involved in the biosynthesis of the lipoyl cofactor. The mechanism by which a [4Fe-4S] cluster is inserted into LIAS has thus far remained elusive. Here we show that NFU1 and ISCA1 of the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery, via forming a heterodimeric complex, are the key factors for the insertion of a [4Fe-4S] cluster into the FeSRSsite of LIAS. In this process, the crucial actor is the C-domain of NFU1, which, by exploiting a protein-interaction affinity gradient increasing from ISCA1 to LIAS, drives the cluster to its final destination.

Abstract

Human lipoyl synthase (LIAS) is an enzyme containing two [4Fe-4S] clusters (named FeSRSand FeSaux) involved in the biosynthesis of the lipoyl cofactor. The mechanism by which a [4Fe-4S] cluster is inserted into LIAS has thus far remained elusive. Here we show that NFU1 and ISCA1 of the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster assembly machinery, via forming a heterodimeric complex, are the key factors for the insertion of a [4Fe-4S] cluster into the FeSRSsite of LIAS. In this process, the crucial actor is the C-domain of NFU1, which, by exploiting a protein-interaction affinity gradient increasing from ISCA1 to LIAS, drives the cluster to its final destination.
