Abstract
Iron-sulfur cluster conversion and nitrosyl modification are involved in regulating their functions and play critical roles in signaling for biological systems. Hereby, the photo-induced dynamic process of (Me4N)2[Fe2S2(NO)4] was monitored using time-resolved electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra, MS spectra and cellular imaging methods. Photo-irradiation and the solvent affect the reaction rates and products. Spectroscopic and kinetic studies have shown that the process involves at least three intermediates: spin-trapped NO free radical species with a gav at 2.040, and two other iron nitrosyl species, dinitrosyl iron units (DNICs) and mononitrosyl iron units (MNICs) with gav values at 2.031 and 2.024, respectively. Moreover, the [Fe2S2(NO)4]2- cluster could bind with ferritin and decompose gradually, and a binding state of dinitrosyl iron coordinated with Cys102 of the recombinant human heavy chain ferritin (rHuHF) was finally formed. This study provides insight into the photodynamic mechanism of nitrosyl iron - sulfur clusters to improve the understanding of physiological activity.

Abstract
Iron‑sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, inorganic cofactors composed of iron and sulfide, participate in numerous essential redox, non-redox, structural, and regulatory biological processes within the cell. Though structurally and functionally diverse, the list of all proteins in an organism capable of binding one or more Fe-S clusters is referred to as its Fe-S proteome. Importantly, the Fe-S proteome is highly dynamic, with continuous cluster synthesis and delivery by complex Fe-S cluster biogenesis pathways. This cluster delivery is balanced out by processes that can result in loss of Fe-S cluster binding, such as redox state changes, iron availability, and oxygen sensitivity. Despite continued expansion of the Fe-S protein catalogue, it remains a challenge to reliably identify novel Fe-S proteins. As such, high-throughput techniques that can report on native Fe-S cluster binding are required to both identify new Fe-S proteins, as well as characterize the in vivo dynamics of Fe-S cluster binding. Due to the recent rapid growth in mass spectrometry, proteomics, and chemical biology, there has been a host of techniques developed that are applicable to the study of native Fe-S proteins. This review will detail both the current understanding of the Fe-S proteome and Fe-S cluster biology as well as describing state-of-the-art proteomic strategies for the study of Fe-S clusters within the context of a native proteome.

Abstract
Recent discoveries of isoprene-metabolizing microorganisms suggest they might play an important role in the global isoprene budget. Under anoxic conditions, isoprene can be used as an electron acceptor and is reduced to methylbutene. This study describes the proteogenomic profiling of an isoprene-reducing bacterial culture to identify organisms and genes responsible for the isoprene hydrogenation reaction. A metagenome-assembled genome (MAG) of the most abundant (89% relative abundance) lineage in the enrichment, Acetobacterium wieringae, was obtained. Comparative proteogenomics and reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) identified a putative five-gene operon from the A. wieringae MAG upregulated during isoprene reduction. The operon encodes a putative oxidoreductase, three pleiotropic nickel chaperones (2 × HypA, HypB), and one 4Fe-4S ferredoxin. The oxidoreductase is proposed as the putative isoprene reductase with a binding site for NADH, flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), two pairs of canonical [4Fe-4S] clusters, and a putative iron-sulfur cluster site in a Cys6-bonding environment. Well-studied Acetobacterium strains, such as A. woodii DSM 1030, A. wieringae DSM 1911, or A. malicum DSM 4132, do not encode the isoprene-regulated operon but encode, like many other bacteria, a homolog of the putative isoprene reductase (~47 to 49% amino acid sequence identity). Uncharacterized homologs of the putative isoprene reductase are observed across the Firmicutes, Spirochaetes, Tenericutes, Actinobacteria, Chloroflexi, Bacteroidetes, and Proteobacteria, suggesting the ability of biohydrogenation of unfunctionalized conjugated doubled bonds in other unsaturated hydrocarbons. IMPORTANCE Isoprene was recently shown to act as an electron acceptor for a homoacetogenic bacterium. The focus of this study is the molecular basis for isoprene reduction. By comparing a genome from our isoprene-reducing enrichment culture, dominated by Acetobacterium wieringae, with genomes of other Acetobacterium lineages that do not reduce isoprene, we shortlisted candidate genes for isoprene reduction. Using comparative proteogenomics and reverse transcription-PCR we have identified a putative five-gene operon encoding an oxidoreductase referred to as putative isoprene reductase.

Abstract
MUTYH adenine DNA glycosylase and its homologous protein (collectively MutY) are typical DNA glycosylases with a [4Fe4S] cluster and a helix-hairpin-helix (HhH) motif in its structure. In the present work, the binding behaviors of the MutY protein to dsDNA containing different base mismatches were investigated. The type and distribution of base mismatch in the dsDNA chain were found to influence the DNA-protein binding interaction greatly. The [4Fe4S] cluster of the MutY protein is able to identify a G-A mismatch in the dsDNA chain specifically by monitoring the anomalies of charge transport in the dsDNA chain, allowing the entrance of the identified dsDNA chain into the internal cavity of the MutY protein and the strong DNA-protein binding at the HhH motif of the protein through multiple H-bonds. The dsDNA chain with a centrally located G-A mismatch is thus functionalized on mesoporous silica (MSN) via amination reaction, and the obtained dsDNA(G-A)@MSN is used as a powerful sorbent for the selective capturing of the MutY protein from complex samples. By using 0.5% NH3·H2O (m/v) as a stripping reagent, efficient isolation of the MutY protein from different cell lines and bacteria is achieved and the recovered MutY protein is demonstrated to maintain favorable DNA adenine glycosylase activity.

Abstract
The earliest forms of life (i.e., Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya) appeared on our planet about ten billion years after its formation. Although Archaea do not seem to possess the multiprotein machinery constituted by the NIF (Nitrogen Fixation), ISC (Iron Sulfur Cluster), SUF (sulfur mobilization) enzymes, typical of Bacteria and Eukarya, some of them are able to encode Fe-S proteins. Here we discussed the multiple enzymatic reactions triggered by the up-to-date structurally characterized members of the archaeal family that require the crucial presence of structurally characterized [2Fe-2S] assemblies, focusing on their biological functions and, when available, on their electrochemical behavior.

Abstract
A plethora of proteins are able to express iron-sulfur clusters, but have a clear picture of the different types of proteins and the different iron-sulfur clusters they harbor it is not easy. In the last five years we have reviewed structure/electrochemistry of metalloproteins expressing: (i) single types of iron-sulfur clusters (namely: {Fe(Cys)4}, {[Fe2S2](Cys)4}, {[Fe2S2](Cys)3(X)} (X = Asp, Arg, His), {[Fe2S2](Cys)2(His)2}, {[Fe3S4](Cys)3}, {[Fe4S4](Cys)4} and {[Fe4S4](Cys)3(nonthiolate ligand)} cores); (ii) metalloproteins harboring iron-sulfur centres of different nuclearities (namely: [4Fe-4S] and [2Fe-2S], [4Fe-4S] and [3Fe-4S], and [4Fe-4S], [3Fe-4S] and [2Fe-2S] clusters. Our target is now to review structure and electrochemistry of proteins harboring canonical, non-canonical and hybrid iron-sulfur proteins.
