The Rieske Iron-Sulfur Protein: Import and Assembly into the Cytochrome 𝑏𝑐1 Complex of Yeast Mitochondria by Laura Conte, Vincenzo Zara

“…The Rieske iron-sulfur protein is encoded by nuclear DNA and, after being synthesized in the cytosol, is imported into mitochondria with the help of a cleavable N-terminal presequence. The imported protein, besides incorporating the 2Fe-2S cluster, also interacts with other catalytic and non-catalytic subunits of the cytochrome 𝑏𝑐1 complex, thereby assembling into the mature and functional respiratory complex. …”
