 In most organims, there is a cytosolic enzyme with an ACO domain (cAc), and in eukaryotes, a second copy of it was introduced with mitochondria (mAc). Plants developed even more copies in mitochondria.

Therefore, the cytosolic cAc is named IREBP for IRE-binding protein when this function is talked about. Only one of the two functions is active, depending on whether the (4Fe4S) cofactor is present in the molecule: it's essential for the ACO function. You can see, by looking at the morph, how much the enzyme structure differs between those two functions.
