The Fe and Zn cofactor dilemma
BIOCHIMICA ET BIOPHYSICA ACTA-REVIEWS ON CANCER(2023)
摘要
Fe and Zn ions are essential enzymatic cofactors across all domains of life. Fe is an electron donor/acceptor in redox enzymes, while Zn is typically a structural element or catalytic component in hydrolases. Interestingly, the presence of Zn in oxidoreductases and Fe in hydrolases challenge this apparent functional dichotomy. In hydrolases, Fe either substitutes for Zn or specifically catalyzes certain reactions. On the other hand, Zn can replace divalent Fe and substitute for more complex Fe assemblies, known as Fe-S clusters. Although many zinc-binding proteins interchangeably harbor Zn and Fe-S clusters, these cofactors are only sometimes functional proxies.
