A molecular comparison of [Fe-S] cluster-based homeostasis in <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
ISC and SUF molecular systems build and transfer Fe-S cluster to cellular apo protein clients. The model <i>Escherichia coli</i> has both ISC and SUF and study of the interplay between the two systems established that the ISC system is the house-keeping one and SUF the stress-responding one. Unexpectedly, our recent phylogenomic analysis revealed that in contrast to <i>E. coli</i> (and related enterobacteria such as Salmonella), most bacteria have only one system, and, in most cases, it is SUF. <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> fits the general rule of having only one system but stands against the rule by having ISC. This study aims at engineering <i>P. aeruginosa</i> harboring <i>E. coli</i> systems and vice versa. Comparison of the recombinants allowed to assess the functional versatility of each system while appreciating their contribution to cellular homeostasis in different species context.
