Comments
Comment typeDescription
Disease Bjoernstad syndrome (BJS) [MIM:262000]: An autosomal recessive disease characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss and twisted hairs (pili torti). Pili torti is a condition in which the hair shafts are flattened at irregular intervals and twisted 180 degrees from the normal axis, making the hair extremely brittle. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17314340}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Disease GRACILE syndrome (GRACILE) [MIM:603358]: GRACILE stands for 'growth retardation, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, iron overload, lactic acidosis, and early death'. It is a recessively inherited lethal disease characterized by fetal growth retardation, lactic acidosis, aminoaciduria, cholestasis, and abnormalities in iron metabolism. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12215968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17314340}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Disease Mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear 1 (MC3DN1) [MIM:124000]: A disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain resulting in a highly variable phenotype depending on which tissues are affected. Clinical features include mitochondrial encephalopathy, psychomotor retardation, ataxia, severe failure to thrive, liver dysfunction, renal tubulopathy, muscle weakness and exercise intolerance. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11528392, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12910490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17314340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17403714, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19162478}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function Chaperone necessary for the assembly of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex III. Plays an important role in the maintenance of mitochondrial tubular networks, respiratory chain assembly and formation of the LETM1 complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18628306}.
Similarity Belongs to the AAA ATPase family. BCS1 subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18628306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9878253}; Single- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18628306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9878253}.
Subunit Interacts with LETM1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18628306}.
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitous. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9878253}.
