The biosynthesis of Fe-S clusters and other thio-cofactors requires the participation of redox agents. A shared feature in these pathways is the formation of transient protein persulfides, which are susceptible to reduction by artificial reducing agents commonly used in reactions in vitro. These agents modulate the reactivity and catalytic efficiency of biosynthetic reactions and, in some cases, skew the enzymes' kinetic behavior, bypassing sulfur acceptors known to be critical for the functionality of these pathways in vivo. Here, we provide kinetic evidence for the selective reactivity of the Bacillus subtilis Trx (thioredoxin) system toward protein-bound persulfide intermediates. Our results demonstrate that the redox flux of the Trx system modulates the rate of sulfide production in cysteine desulfurase assays. Likewise, the activity of the Trx system is dependent on the rate of persulfide formation, suggesting the occurrence of coupled reaction schemes between both enzymatic systems in vitro. Inactivation of TrxA (thioredoxin) or TrxR (thioredoxin reductase) impairs the activity of Fe-S enzymes in B. subtilis, indicating the involvement of the Trx system in Fe-S cluster metabolism. Surprisingly, biochemical characterization of TrxA reveals that this enzyme is able to coordinate Fe-S species, resulting in the loss of its reductase activity. The inactivation of TrxA through the coordination of a labile cluster, combined with its proposed role as a physiological reducing agent in sulfur transfer pathways, suggests a model for redox regulation. These findings provide a potential link between redox regulation and Fe-S metabolism.
