The atomic environment around the iron site in the nonheme iron sulfur protein rubredoxin was studied by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique. Within experimental error, the Fe-S bonds in oxidized Clostridium pasteurianum rubredoxin are the same as in the analogue anion [Fe(S2-o-xyl)2]-synthesized by Holm. The average Fe-S bond length is 2.267 +/- 0.003A and the root mean square deviation about this average due to structural disorder is 0.032 + 0.013 - 0.032.

The outer mitochondrial membrane protein known as mitoNEET was discovered when it was labeled by a photoaffinity derivative of the anti-diabetes medication, pioglitazone. The biological role for mitoNEET and its specific mechanism for achieving this remains an active subject for research. There is accumulating evidence suggesting that mitoNEET could be a component of mitochondrial FeS cofactor biogenesis.

Glutathione (GSH) is an abundant thiol-containing tripeptide that functions in redox homeostasis, protein folding, and iron metabolism. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, GSH depletion leads to increased sensitivity to oxidants and other toxic compounds, disruption of Fe-S cluster biogenesis, and eventually cell death. GSH pools are supplied by intracellular biosynthesis and GSH import from the extracellular environment.

Article Synopsis
- * At lower concentrations (3 μg/L), CIP primarily targets the PSII D1 protein, which leads to cell death through apoptosis-like mechanisms, while at higher concentrations (8 μg/L), it additionally affects PSI proteins, causing a switch to a different cell death pathway.
- * The study reveals how different antibiotic levels can change their lethal effects on photosynthetic organisms, highlighting the need for better risk assessment practices regarding the impact of antibiotics in aquatic environments.

Background: The mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress imbalance caused by macrophage polarization play a role in the progression of COPD, with CDGSH iron-sulfur domain-containing protein 1 (CISD1) playing a key role. This study revealed the role and mechanism of CISD1 in smoke-induced macrophages.
Methods: Using a pure cigarette smoke exposure-induced COPD mouse model, stimulation of Raw264.
