The presented crystal structure and biochemical analyses indicated that HcgD has a dinuclear iron-center, which provides a pronounced binding site for anionic ligands. HcgD contains a stronger and a weaker bound iron; the latter being removable by chelating reagents preferentially in the oxidized state. Therefore, we propose HcgD as an iron chaperone in FeGP cofactor biosynthesis, which might also stimulate investigations on the functionally unknown but physiologically important eukaryotic Nif3-like protein family members.
