Iron–sulfur cluster proteins are found in all kingdoms of life and perform diverse cellular functions. Increasingly, evidence from structural biology suggests that their reactivity may be enabled by rearrangements of their cluster cores. We show here that the Fe ions in thermodynamically privileged, cuboidal clusters rapidly exchange with exogenous Fe2+ ions, and are thus more dynamic than commonly appreciated. This phenomenon is demonstrated across a range of clusters and is developed into a straightforward method for isotopic enrichment of biogenic Fe–S clusters. Applications of this method will facilitate spectroscopic and mechanistic analysis of this ubiquitous class of metalloproteins. Nature employs weak-field metalloclusters to support a wide range of biological processes. The most ubiquitous metalloclusters are the cuboidal Fe–S clusters, which are comprised of Fe sites with locally high-spin electronic configurations. Such configurations enhance rates of ligand exchange and imbue the clusters with a degree of structural plasticity that is increasingly thought to be functionally relevant. Here, we examine this phenomenon using isotope tracing experiments. Specifically, we demonstrate that synthetic [Fe4S4] and [MoFe3S4] clusters exchange their Fe atoms with Fe2+ ions dissolved in solution, a process that involves the reversible cleavage and reformation of every Fe–S bond in the cluster core. This exchange is facile—in most cases occurring at room temperature on the timescale of minutes—and documented over a range of cluster core oxidation states and terminal ligation patterns. In addition to suggesting a highly dynamic picture of cluster structure, these results provide a method for isotopically labeling pre-formed clusters with spin-active nuclei, such as 57Fe. Such a protocol is demonstrated for the radical S-adenosyl-l-methionine enzyme, RlmN.
