Members of the bacterial and mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly machinery include the so-called A-type ISC proteins, which support the assembly of a subset of Fe/S apoproteins. The human genome encodes two A-type proteins, termed ISCA1 and ISCA2, which are related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae Isa1 and Isa2, respectively. An additional protein, Iba57, physically interacts with Isa1 and Isa2 in yeast. To test the cellular role of human ISCA1, ISCA2, and IBA57, HeLa cells were depleted for any of these proteins by RNA interference technology. Depleted cells contained massively swollen and enlarged mitochondria that were virtually devoid of cristae membranes, demonstrating the importance of these proteins for mitochondrial biogenesis. The activities of mitochondrial [4Fe-4S] proteins, including aconitase, respiratory complex I, and lipoic acid synthase, were diminished following depletion of the three proteins. In contrast, the mitochondrial [2Fe-2S] enzyme ferrochelatase and cellular heme content were unaffected. We further provide evidence against a localization and direct Fe/S protein maturation function of ISCA1 and ISCA2 in the cytosol. Taken together, our data suggest that ISCA1, ISCA2, and IBA57 are specifically involved in the maturation of mitochondrial [4Fe-4S] proteins functioning late in the ISC assembly pathway.

We report a patient carrying a novel pathogenic variant p.(Tyr101Cys) in ISCA1 leading to MMDS type 5. He initially presented a psychomotor regression with loss of gait and language skills and a tetrapyramidal spastic syndrome. Biochemical analysis of patient fibroblasts revealed impaired lipoic acid synthesis and decreased activities of complex I and II of respiratory chain. While ISCA1 is involved in the mitochondrial machinery for iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, these dysfunctions are secondary to impaired maturation of mitochondrial proteins containing the [4Fe-4S] clusters. Expression and purification of the human ISCA1 showed a decreased stability of the [2Fe-2S] cluster in the mutated protein.
