Abstract
Attention is drawn to a mechanism of redox control of gene expression involving Fe‐S proteins which depends on the disassembly and reassembly of Fe‐S clusters rather than a change in oxidation state. Iron Regulatory Protein (IRP)/aconitase and FNR are discussed as examples for such a mechanism.Keywords
