The synthesis and trafficking of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes requires coordination within an expanding network of proteins that function in the cytosol, nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts in order to assemble and deliver these ancient and essential cofactors to a wide variety of Fe-S-dependent enzymes and proteins. This review focuses on the evolving roles of two ubiquitous classes of proteins that operate in this network: CGFS glutaredoxins and BolA proteins. Monothiol or CGFS glutaredoxins possess a Cys-Gly-Phe-Ser active site that coordinates an Fe-S cluster in a homodimeric complex. CGFS glutaredoxins also form [2Fe-2S]-bridged heterocomplexes with BolA proteins, which possess an invariant His and an additional His or Cys residue that serve as cluster ligands. Here we focus on recent discoveries in bacteria, fungi, humans, and plants that highlight the shared and distinct roles of CGFS glutaredoxins and BolA proteins in Fe-S cluster biogenesis, Fe-S cluster storage and trafficking, and Fe-S cluster signaling to transcriptional factors that control iron metabolism--.
