International audience. Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are one of the most ancient and versatile inorganic cofactors present in the three domains of life. Fe-S clusters are essential cofactors for the activity of a large variety of metalloproteins that play crucial physiological roles. Fe-S protein biogenesis is a complex process that starts with the acquisition of the elements (iron and sulfur atoms) and their assembly into a Fe-S cluster that is subsequently inserted into the target proteins. The Fe-S protein biogenesis is ensured by multiproteic systems conserved across all domains of life. Here, we provide an overview on how bacterial genetics approaches have permitted to reveal and dissect the Fe-S protein biogenesis process in vivo.
