Summary
CHCHD4 (coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 4, HGNC:26467) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 3p25.1, encoding Mitochondrial intermembrane space import and assembly protein 40 (Q8N4Q1). Central component of a redox-sensitive mitochondrial intermembrane space import machinery which is required for the biogenesis of respiratory chain complexes. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 96.4% of cancer cell lines).
CHCHD4, a component of human mitochondria, belongs to a protein family whose members share 6 highly conserved cysteine residues constituting a -CXC-CX(9)C-CX(9)C- motif in the C terminus (Hofmann et al., 2005 [PubMed 16185709]).

Function. Central component of a redox-sensitive mitochondrial intermembrane space import machinery which is required for the biogenesis of respiratory chain complexes. Functions as chaperone and catalyzes the formation of disulfide bonds in substrate proteins, such as COX17, COX19, MICU1 and COA7. Required for the import and folding of small cysteine-containing proteins (small Tim) in the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS). Required for the import of COA7 in the IMS. Precursor proteins to be imported into the IMS are translocated in their reduced form into the mitochondria. The oxidized form of CHCHD4/MIA40 forms a transient intermolecular disulfide bridge with the reduced precursor protein, resulting in oxidation of the precursor protein that now contains an intramolecular disulfide bond and is able to undergo folding in the IMS. Reduced CHCHD4/MIA40 is then reoxidized by GFER/ERV1 via a disulfide relay system. Mediates formation of disulfide bond in MICU1 in the IMS, promoting formation of the MICU1-MICU2 heterodimer that regulates mitochondrial calcium uptake.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer. Can form homooligomers. Interacts with GFER and forms transient disulfide bonds with GFER. Interacts with MICU1. Interacts with COX19 forming transient intermolecular disulfide bridges. Interacts with COA7 through transient intermolecular disulfide bonds. Interacts with AIFM1; the interaction increases in presence of NADH. Interacts with NDUFB10; assists NDUFB10 oxidation, folding and import into mitochondrion.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion intermembrane space.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in all tissues tested, suggesting an ubiquitous expression.
Post-translational modifications. Forms intrachain disulfide bridges, but exists in different redox states.
Domain organisation. The CHCH domain contains a conserved twin Cys-X(9)-Cys motif which is required for import and stability of MIA40 in mitochondria.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 82 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
