{Abstract}: Iron‑sulfur (Fe-S) clusters, inorganic cofactors composed of iron and sulfide, participate in numerous essential redox, non-redox, structural, and regulatory biological processes within the cell. Though structurally and functionally diverse, the list of all proteins in an organism capable of binding one or more Fe-S clusters is referred to as its Fe-S proteome. Importantly, the Fe-S proteome is highly dynamic, with continuous cluster synthesis and delivery by complex Fe-S cluster biogenesis pathways. This cluster delivery is balanced out by processes that can result in loss of Fe-S cluster binding, such as redox state changes, iron availability, and oxygen sensitivity. Despite continued expansion of the Fe-S protein catalogue, it remains a challenge to reliably identify novel Fe-S proteins. As such, high-throughput techniques that can report on native Fe-S cluster binding are required to both identify new Fe-S proteins, as well as characterize the in vivo dynamics of Fe-S cluster binding. Due to the recent rapid growth in mass spectrometry, proteomics, and chemical biology, there has been a host of techniques developed that are applicable to the study of native Fe-S proteins. This review will detail both the current understanding of the Fe-S proteome and Fe-S cluster biology as well as describing state-of-the-art proteomic strategies for the study of Fe-S clusters within the context of a native proteome.
