Yeast Mitochondria Import Aqueous FeII and, When Activated for Iron-Sulfur Cluster Assembly, Export or Release Low-Molecular-Mass Iron and Also Export Iron That Incorporates into Cytosolic Proteins.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly occurs in both mitochondria and cytosol. Mitochondria are thought to export a low-molecular-mass (LMM) iron and/or sulfur species which is used as a substrate for cytosolic ISC assembly. This species, called X-S or (Fe-S)int, has not been directly detected. Here, an assay was developed in which mitochondria were isolated from 57Fe-enriched cells and incubated in various buffers. Thereafter, mitochondria were separated from the supernatant, and both fractions were investigated by ICP-MS-detected size exclusion liquid chromatography. Aqueous 54FeII in the buffer declined upon exposure to intact 57Fe-enriched mitochondria. Some 54Fe was probably surface-absorbed but some was incorporated into
