Study aimed to biochemically define these protein-protein and protein-metal interactions. Grx4 was found to bind a [2Fe-2S] cluster with spectroscopic features similar to other CGFS glutaredoxins. Grx4 and Php4 also copurify as a complex with a [2Fe-2S] cluster that is spectroscopically distinct from the cluster on Grx4these results show that Grx4 controls Php4 function through binding of a bridging [2Fe-2S] cluster.
Title: Schizosaccharomyces pombe Grx4 regulates the transcriptional repressor Php4 via [2Fe-2S] cluster binding.

Grx4 independently governs the Php4 and Fep1 repressors through metal transfer. total or partial disassembly of the Grx4-Fra2 cluster actively participates in iron-containing Fep1 activation
Title: A cascade of iron-containing proteins governs the genetic iron starvation response to promote iron uptake and inhibit iron storage in fission yeast.

These results suggest that the ability of Grx4 to bind iron, most likely Fe-S cofactor, could be critical in interacting with and modulating the activity of Fep1.
Title: Multi-domain CGFS-type glutaredoxin Grx4 regulates iron homeostasis via direct interaction with a repressor Fep1 in fission yeast.

Results describe the first example of a monothiol glutaredoxin (Grx4)that acts as an inhibitory partner for an iron-regulated transcription factor under conditions of low iron levels.
Title: Grx4 monothiol glutaredoxin is required for iron limitation-dependent inhibition of Fep1.

Grx4 and Crm1 are novel components involved in the mechanism by which Php4 is inactivated by iron in a Fep1-independent manner.
Title: Both Php4 function and subcellular localization are regulated by iron via a multistep mechanism involving the glutaredoxin Grx4 and the exportin Crm1.
