9.B.21.2.1
The CyaY protein of 106 aas is an iron transport protein for iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster biosynthetic systems (Uchida et al. 2017). It also transports iron to ferrochelatase that catalyzes insertion of Fe2+ into protoporphyrin IX. Uchida et al. 2017 found that CyaY has the ability to bind heme as well as iron.
