High impact information on BCS1

  • We demonstrate here that Bcs1p is directly required for the assembly of the Rieske FeS and Qcr10p proteins into the cytochrome bc(1) complex [1].
  • Binding of Bcs1p to and release from this assembly intermediate is driven by ATP hydrolysis [1].
  • Bcs1p, a mitochondrial protein and member of the conserved AAA protein family, is involved in the biogenesis of the cytochrome bc(1) complex [1].
  • Internal targeting signal of the BCS1 protein: a novel mechanism of import into mitochondria [2].
  • BCS1, a novel gene required for the expression of functional Rieske iron-sulfur protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [3].
 

Biological context of BCS1

  • The primary structure of the encoded BCS1 protein bears similarity to a group of proteins that have been implicated in intracellular protein sorting, membrane fusion and regulation of transcription [3].
 

Anatomical context of BCS1

  • Both postulated functions are consistent with the localization of BCS1 in mitochondria [3].
  • We propose that the initial recognition of BCS1 precursor at the surface of the organelle mainly depends on the auxiliary region and does not require the transmembrane domain [4].
