The Biogenesis of Iron-sulfur Proteins: from Cellular Biology to Molecular Aspects
The main aim and objective of the Action is to address iron-sulfur (Fe/S) protein biogenesis in living systems and to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases related to Fe/S protein biogenesis dysfunctions. The Action will provide a molecular view of Fe/S proteins assembly processes and trafficking pathways at a systemic level, including their connections with cellular iron homeostasis processes.
Areas of expertise
Areas of Expertise relevant for the Action in the field of Biological Sciences: Systems Biology,General Biochemistry and Metabolism, Structural Biology (NMR, Crystallography, EM), Molecular biology and interactions, Biochemistry
Challenge
Iron-sulfur proteins represent one of the most extensively studied families of proteins. A growing interest in the field over the last decade has been observed; however, an integrated approach which provides a unified picture at system level is still missing. An inter- and multi-disciplinary background is therefore needed for the generation and training of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative scientists successfully engaged in the challenges of the modern research directed to impact in human health
The past decade has led to the discovery of novel Fe/S proteins and insights into how their Fe/S cofactors are formed and incorporated into apoproteins.

The Aim of the Action is to define a network able to coordinate and integrate intersectorial disciplines in Fe/S protein biogenesis.
The challenge of this Action can be reached uniquely in the context of a pan European framework
The challenge of this Action can be reached uniquely in the context of a pan European framework where large scale research infrastructures and highly dedicated experienced teams are gathered together to offer a critical mass made by hundreds of researchers from different fields.
The Action Participants approximately includes about 200 scientists with fields of interests ranging from cellular biology to physical methods for chemistry and biology.
