Cofactor Comment Organism Structure
[4Fe-4S]-center LipA contains two [4Fe-4S] clusters, one of them is degraded during turnover, limiting LipA to one turnover in vitro. The iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster carrier protein NfuA, the bacterial ortholog of NFU1, efficiently reconstitutes the auxiliary cluster during LipA catalysis in a step that is not rate-limiting Escherichia coli
