UniProt functional annotation for P77689

UniProt code: P77689.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: The SufBCD complex acts synergistically with SufE to stimulate the cysteine desulfurase activity of SufS. The SufBCD complex contributes to the assembly or repair of oxygen-labile iron-sulfur clusters under oxidative stress. May facilitate iron uptake from extracellular iron chelators under iron limitation. Required for the stability of the FhuF protein. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10322040, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12941942}.
 
Subunit: Part of the SufBCD complex that contains SufB, SufC and SufD. Can form homodimers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12941942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16021622}.
Similarity: Belongs to the UPF0051 (ycf24) family. {ECO:0000305}.
