Using low temperature EPR spectroscopy, signals of iron-sulfur centers with g-factors of 2.02 and 1.94 were detected in the respiratory chain of St. aureus membranes. According to their relaxation parameters and redox properties, these iron-sulfur centers are similar to iron-sulfur centers S-1 and S-3 corresponding to succinate dehydrogenases of mitochondria and bacterial membranes.

Arsenic in the environment, such as sodium arsenic (NaAsO), is a frequently occurring hazard that has been linked to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Our prior research established the involvement of ferroptosis in arsenic-induced NASH, but the precise underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we found that exposure to NaAsO had a suppressive effect on the expression of CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 2 (CISD2) at the protein and gene levels, and overexpression of CISD2 inhibited NaAsO-induced ferroptosis and NASH.

Pregnancy complications pose challenges for both pregnant women and obstetricians globally, with the pathogenesis of many remaining poorly understood. Recently coined as a mode of cell death, cuproptosis has been proposed but remains largely unexplored. This process involves copper overload, resulting in the accumulation of fatty acylated proteins and subsequent loss of iron-sulfur cluster proteins.

Ferredoxin 1 and 2 (FDX1/2) constitute an evolutionarily conserved FDX family of iron-sulfur cluster-containing proteins. FDX1/2 are cognate substrates of ferredoxin reductase and serve as conduits for electron transfer from NADPH to a set of proteins involved in biogenesis of corticosteroids, hemes, iron-sulfur cluster, and lipoylated proteins. Recently, we showed that Fdx1 is essential for embryonic development and lipid homeostasis.
