Involved in [4Fe-4S] cluster assembly and protein maturation by [4Fe-4S] cluster transfer. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Orthologous to human BOLA1 (bolA family member 1).
SGD Description
Mitochondrial matrix protein involved in Fe-S cluster biogenesis; facilitates [4Fe-2S] cluster inception into mitochondrial proteins such as lipoate synthase and succinate dehydrogenase; interacts and may function with Grx5p at an early step in Fe-S cluster biosynthesis; forms dimeric complexes with Grx5p and Nfu1p that alter the stability of shared Fe/S clusters; sequence similarity to human BOLA family member, BOLA1 and S. pombe uvi31, a putative DNA repair protein
