title: Redox control of gene expression involving iron-sulfur proteins. Change of oxidation-state or assembly/disassembly of Fe-S clusters?
abstract: Attention is drawn to a mechanism of redox control of gene expression involving Fe-S proteins which depends on the disassembly and reassembly of Fe-S clusters rather than a change in oxidation state. Iron Regulatory Protein (IRP)/aconitase and FNR are discussed as examples for such a mechanism.
