Here, we have cloned and characterized human ISD11 and shown that human ISD11 forms a stable complex in vivo with the human cysteine desulfurase (ISCS), which generates the inorganic sulfur needed for Fe-S protein biogenesis.

Impaired function of the mitochondria-located Fe/S cluster (ISC) assembly machinery affects all cellular Fe/S proteins, including enzymes of the respiratory chain, NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I; eight Fe/S clusters), succinate: ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex II; three Fe/S clusters), and cytochrome bc (1) complex (complex III; one Fe/S cluster).

Bacteria use three distinct systems for iron-sulfur (Fe/S) cluster biogenesis: the ISC, SUF, and NIF machineries.
The drastic growth retardation of a conditional mutant depleted of SufU was coupled with a severe reduction of aconitase and succinate dehydrogenase activities in total-cell lysates, suggesting a crucial function of SufU in Fe/S protein biogenesis.
