Type: | Family | Name: | Iron-sulfur cluster repair protein ScdA |
Description: | The ScdA protein was originally identified as a cell wall biosynthesis protein since mutations in the scdA gene produce cell walls with highly aberrant morphology []. Subsequent studies have shown that ScdA belongs to the wider Repairs of iron centres (RIC) family and is a di-iron protein that, amongst other functions, protects the cell from damage caused by exposure to nitric oxide and to hydrogen peroxide [, ]. | Short Name: | ScdA |
