Delta-Psi dependent mitochondrial import and Cleavage protein of ~29 kDa
Synonyms
YGR021W
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Acts upstream of or within mitochondrial translation. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in matrix side of mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex IV deficiency nuclear type 8. Orthologous to human TACO1 (translational activator of cytochrome c oxidase I).
SGD Description
General post-initiation mitochondrial translation factor; peripherally associated with the matrix side of the mitochondrial inner membrane; interacts with mitoribosomal proteins in actively translating cells; human ortholog TACO1 complements the yeast null mutant
