Partial bypass of frataxin deficiency by ISCU M141I restores cytosolic and nuclear Fe–S cluster assembly

Mosbach, V., Maio, N., Hermet, L. et al. Partial bypass of frataxin deficiency by ISCU M141I restores cytosolic and nuclear Fe–S cluster assembly. Cell Death Differ (2026). doi:10.1038/s41418-026-01832-4  

Results reveal a previously unrecognized compartment-specific rescue of Fe-S cluster dependent processes by the ISCU M141I variant in mammalian cells, raising for the first time the possibility of compartmental regulation of Fe-S cluster biogenesis.
