Predicted to enable ATP-dependent peptidase activity and metalloendopeptidase activity. Predicted to be involved in mitochondrial protein catabolic process and mitochondrial protein processing. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic anal pad; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in optic atrophy 11. Orthologous to human YME1L1 (YME1 like 1 ATPase).
FB Description
YME1 like ATPase (YME1L) encodes an AAA protease localized at the mitochondrial inner membrane. It is involved in mitochondrial quality control and its loss causes male sterility, premature aging, and neuromuscular degenerative phenotypes.
