“…The NAD(H) kinases are the sole enzymes able to convert NAD(H) to NADP(H) using ATP as a phosphate donor. Such a kinase has been identified recently in mammalian mitochondria (51,52), although a possible functional connection between the kinase and Fe-S cluster biogenesis remains to be determined. By contrast, the corresponding NADH kinase in the yeast mitochondrial matrix, called Pos5, has been characterized, and it seems that NADPH, generated by Pos5, plays an important role in Fe-S cluster biogenesis in yeast mitochondria (17,53).…”
