Disease

[RT16_HUMAN] Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 2. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. [RM03_HUMAN] Combined oxidative phosphorylation defect type 9. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function
[AKIP_HUMAN] May act as a negative regulator of Aurora-A kinase, by down-regulation through proteasome-dependent degradation. [RM14_HUMAN] Forms part of 2 intersubunit bridges in the assembled ribosome. Upon binding to MALSU1 intersubunit bridge formation is blocked, preventing ribosome formation and repressing translation (Probable).[1] [RT29_HUMAN] Involved in mediating interferon-gamma-induced cell death. [RM36_HUMAN] Component of the large subunit of the mitochondrial ribosome. [G45IP_HUMAN] Acts as a negative regulator of G1 to S cell cycle phase progression by inhibiting cyclin-dependent kinases. Inhibitory effects are additive with GADD45 proteins but occurs also in the absence of GADD45 proteins. Acts as a repressor of the orphan nuclear receptor NR4A1 by inhibiting AB domain-mediated transcriptional activity. May be involved in the hormone-mediated regulation of NR4A1 transcriptional activity. May play a role in mitochondrial protein synthesis. [RM16_HUMAN] Component of the large subunit of mitochondrial ribosome. [ICT1_HUMAN] Essential peptidyl-tRNA hydrolase component of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit. Acts as a codon-independent translation release factor that has lost all stop codon specificity and directs the termination of translation in mitochondrion, possibly in case of abortive elongation. May be involved in the hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNAs that have been prematurely terminated and thus in the recycling of stalled mitochondrial ribosomes.[2] [PTCD3_HUMAN] Mitochondrial RNA-binding protein that has a role in mitochondrial translation.[3] [RM41_HUMAN] Component of the mitochondrial ribosome large subunit. Also involved in apoptosis and cell cycle. Enhances p53/TP53 stability, thereby contributing to p53/TP53-induced apoptosis in response to growth-inhibitory condition. Enhances p53/TP53 translocation to the mitochondria. Has the ability to arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase, possibly by stabilizing the CDKN1A and CDKN1B (p27Kip1) proteins.[4] [5] [RM44_HUMAN] Component of the 39S subunit of mitochondrial ribosome. May have a function in the assembly/stability of nascent mitochondrial polypeptides exiting the ribosome.[6]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The highly divergent ribosomes of human mitochondria (mitoribosomes) synthesize 13 essential proteins of oxidative phosphorylation complexes. We have determined the structure of the intact mitoribosome to 3.5 angstrom resolution by means of single-particle electron cryogenic microscopy. It reveals 80 extensively interconnected proteins, 36 of which are specific to mitochondria, and three ribosomal RNA molecules. The head domain of the small subunit, particularly the messenger (mRNA) channel, is highly remodeled. Many intersubunit bridges are specific to the mitoribosome, which adopts conformations involving ratcheting or rolling of the small subunit that are distinct from those seen in bacteria or eukaryotes. An intrinsic guanosine triphosphatase mediates a contact between the head and central protuberance. The structure provides a reference for analysis of mutations that cause severe pathologies and for future drug design.
