Alternative pathways of cis-aconitate metabolism. Iron availability and reactive molecules produced under inflammatory condition like nitric oxide (NO) can target the iron-sulfur cluster and alter aconitase activity, thus affecting the amount of cis-aconitate available for the decarboxylating activity of CAD/Irg1 and the production of itaconate.
