Structure of the human frataxin-bound iron-sulfur cluster assembly complex provides insight into its activation mechanism

The iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex is activated by frataxin (FXN) and Friedreich’s ataxia is caused by FXN deficiency. Here the authors present the 3.2 Å resolution cryo-EM structure of the human frataxin bound ISC complex and discuss how FXN activates enzymatic activity.
