Aconitase is an enzyme that participates in the Krebs Cycle, catalyzing the reversible conversion of citrate to isocitrate. Furthermore, in many other organisms from diverse groups, this protein, in addition to its enzymatic function, also has a regulatory role by binding to certain messenger RNAs and interfering with their stability and translation. In Caulobacter crescentus, it appears …
Aconitase is a protein best known for its enzymatic action of catalyzing the conversion reaction from citrate to isocitrate in the Krebs cycle when bound to a FeS group. Additionally, in other organisms such as Escherichia coli, this protein in the Apo form (without FeS) is also able to bind RNA, changing its half-life and translation. However, in C. crescentus (an alphaproteobacterium co…
