==Overview==
When expressed in Escherichia coli, cytosolic poplar glutaredoxin C1 (CGYC, active site) exists as a dimeric iron-sulfur-containing holoprotein or as, a monomeric apoprotein in solution. Analytical and spectroscopic studies, of wild-type protein and site-directed variants and structural, characterization of the holoprotein by using x-ray crystallography, indicate that the holoprotein contains a subunit-bridging [2Fe-2S] cluster, that is ligated by the catalytic cysteines of two glutaredoxins and the, cysteines of two glutathiones. Mutagenesis data on a variety of poplar, glutaredoxins suggest that the incorporation of an iron-sulfur cluster, could be a general feature of plant glutaredoxins possessing a glycine, adjacent to the catalytic cysteine. In light of these results, the, possible involvement of plant glutaredoxins in oxidative stress sensing or, iron-sulfur biosynthesis is discussed with respect to their intracellular, localization.
