DiseaseFDX2_HUMAN The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. FunctionFDX2_HUMAN Electron donor, of the core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex, that acts to reduce the persulfide into sulfide during [2Fe-2S] clusters assembly on the scaffolding protein ISCU (PubMed:28001042). The core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex is involved in the de novo synthesis of a [2Fe-2S] cluster, the first step of the mitochondrial iron-sulfur protein biogenesis (By similarity). This process is initiated by the cysteine desulfurase complex (NFS1:LYRM4:NDUFAB1) that produces persulfide which is delivered on the scaffold protein ISCU in a FXN-dependent manner (By similarity). Then this complex is stabilized by FDX2 which provides reducing equivalents to accomplish the [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly (By similarity). Finally, the [2Fe-2S] cluster is transferred from ISCU to chaperone proteins, including HSCB, HSPA9 and GLRX5 (By similarity). Essential for coenzyme Q biosynthesis: together with FDXR, transfers the electrons required for the hydroxylation reaction performed by COQ6 (PubMed:38425362).[UniProtKB:Q9H1K1][1] [2] References
