Abstract
(type = abstract)
Staphylococcus aureus is a serious mammalian pathogen. For Staphylococcus aureus to successfully inflict pathogenesis upon a host, it is imperative for it to acquire and effectively utilize iron (Fe). Once Fe is internalized, S. aureus utilizes the SUF system to assemble small inorganic cofactors called iron-sulfur (FeS) clusters. FeS clusters have a wide variety of functions in cells, thus, defective FeS cluster assembly results in global metabolic defects. In addition, FeS cluster synthesis and the assembly of FeS proteins is essential in S. aureus and a number of alternate bacterial pathogens suggesting that it is a viable antimicrobial target. Proteins containing DUF59 domains have roles in FeS cluster assembly and are found throughout Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. However, the function of DUF59 remains unknown in S. aureus. We have identified the S. aureus SufT, which is composed solely of the DUF59 domain and demonstrated that it has a role in the maturation of iron-sulfur (FeS) proteins.
