Schematic illustration of the cysteine desulfurase (CDS)-mediated, transient Fe-S cluster assembly on Fe-S cluster scaffold proteins and subsequent cluster transfer to various target apoproteins [7, 99, 116] (top), and the organization of the suf gene clusters annotated in the E. coli, T. maritima, and S. tokodaii genomic sequences (bottom).
