UniProtKB description:  Iron-sulfur protein that transfers electrons in a wide variety of metabolic reactions. Involved in heme A biosynthesis and in iron-sulfur cluster assembly (PubMed:10655482). Transfers electrons from adrenodoxin reductase ARH1 to heme A synthase COX15, a heme protein that catalyzes the conversion of heme O to heme A (PubMed:11248251, PubMed:11788607). Required for the de novo synthesis of Fe-S clusters on iron sulfur cluster assembly protein ISU1. Interact in its reduced state with ISU1 to productively deliver electrons for Fe-S cluster synthesis (PubMed:12970193, PubMed:15211518, PubMed:25358379). Essential for coenzyme Q biosynthesis. May transfer the electrons required for the hydroxylation reaction performed by COQ6 (PubMed:20534343, PubMed:21944752).
