The function of yeast frataxin in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis : a systematic mutagenesis of solvent-exposed side chains of the beta-sheet platform

Friedreich's ataxia is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by the low expression of a mitochondrial protein called frataxin. Studies in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have unraveled a role for the frataxin homologue (Yfh1p) in iron-sulfur cluster (Fe/S) biosynthesis, probably by interacting...
