High impact information on CHCHD4

  • Furthermore, we show that the twin -CX9C- motif is specifically required for import and stability of MIA40 in mitochondria [1].
  • Taken together, we conclude that the biogenesis and function of MIA40 in the mitochondrial intermembrane space is dependent on redox processes involving conserved cysteine residues [1].
  • A redox pathway (Mia40p and Erv1p) mediates the import of intermembrane space proteins such as the small Tim proteins, Cox17p, and Cox19p, which have disulfide bonds [2].
 

Associations of CHCHD4 with chemical compounds

  • Partial mutation of this motif affects stable accumulation of MIA40 in the intermembrane space, whereas mutation of all cysteine residues in this motif inhibits import in mitochondria [1].
