Frataxin, a conserved mitochondrial protein, in the hydrogenosome of Trichomonas vaginalis

Abstract

Recent data suggest that frataxin plays a key role in eukaryote cellular iron metabolism, particularly in mitochondrial heme and iron-sulfur (FeS) cluster biosynthesis. We have now identified a frataxin homologue (Tvfrataxin) from the human parasite Tr
