Abstract

FeS clusters are the oldest biological cofactors. They play a role in various cellular processes, in all steps of the innate immune response to pathogens and the replication process of many viruses like SARS-CoV-2. Consequently, understanding the chemistry and biology of FeS clusters is essential for understanding the mechanism of cell development, the functioning of the immune response to pathogens, and the viral replication process. To elucidate the roles of FeS clusters and proteins in these processes and use the fundamental knowledge for developing therapeutics, the Action aims to build a coordinated effort applying multidisciplinary approaches combining stem cell biology, immunology and virology, metabolomics, bioinorganic chemistry, and computational and medicinal chemistry. The resulting knowledge will reveal new therapeutic targets or approaches to treating many human diseases, including viral infection, neurodegeneration and cancer. Bridging these fields is not possible without access to a Network, where experts in these fields can share their findings, exchange ideas, and develop new research agendas and projects.
