Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is the human ortholog of yeast mitochondrial AAA metalloprotease, Yme1p. It is localized in the mitochondria and can functionally complement a yme1 disruptant yeast strain. It is proposed that this gene plays a role in mitochondrial protein metabolism and could be involved in mitochondrial pathologies. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011].
  • UniProt Summary: ATP-dependent metalloprotease that catalyzes the degradation of folded and unfolded proteins with a suitable degron sequence in the mitochondrial intermembrane region (PubMed:26923599, PubMed:27786171). Plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial morphology and function by cleaving OPA1 at position S2, giving rise to a form of OPA1 that promotes maintenance of normal mitochondrial structure and mitochondrial protein metabolism (PubMed:18076378, PubMed:26923599, PubMed:27495975). Ensures cell proliferation, maintains normal cristae morphology and complex I respiration activity, promotes antiapoptotic activity and protects mitochondria from the accumulation of oxidatively damaged membrane proteins (PubMed:22262461). Required for normal, constitutive degradation of PRELID1 (PubMed:27495975). Catalyzes the degradation of OMA1 in response to membrane depolarization (PubMed:26923599). Required to control the accumulation of nonassembled respiratory chain subunits (NDUFB6, OX4 and ND1) (PubMed:22262461). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18076378, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22262461, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26923599, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27495975, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27786171}.
