N-terminal domains mediate [2Fe-2S] cluster transfer from glutaredoxin-3 to anamorsin

Abstract

In eukaryotes, cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxins are proteins implicated in intracellular iron trafficking and sensing via their bound [2Fe-2S] clusters. We define a new role of human cytosolic monothiol glutaredoxin-3 (GRX3) in transferring its [2Fe-2S] clusters to human anamorsin, a physical and functional protein partner of GRX3 in the cytosol, whose [2Fe-2S] cluster-bound form is involved in the biogenesis of cytosolic and nuclear Fe-S proteins. Specific protein recognition between the N-terminal domains of the two proteins is the mandatory requisite to promote the [2Fe-2S] cluster transfer from GRX3 to anamorsin.
