Summary
LYRM4 (LYR motif containing 4, HGNC:21365) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p25.1, encoding LYR motif-containing protein 4 (Q9HD34). Stabilizing factor, of the core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex, that regulates, in association with NDUFAB1, the stability and the cysteine desulfurase activity of NFS1 and participates in the [2Fe-2S] clusters assembly on the scaffolding protein ISCU. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 98.2% of cancer cell lines).
The protein encoded by this gene is found in both mitochondria and the nucleus, where it binds cysteine desulfurase and helps free inorganic sulfur for Fe/S clusters. Disruption of this gene negatively impacts mitochondrial and cytosolic iron homeostasis.

- The NFS1/ISD11 complex further interacts with scaffold protein ISCU and regulator protein frataxin, thereby forming a quaternary complex for Fe-S cluster formation. (PMID:28271877)

Function. Stabilizing factor, of the core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex, that regulates, in association with NDUFAB1, the stability and the cysteine desulfurase activity of NFS1 and participates in the [2Fe-2S] clusters assembly on the scaffolding protein ISCU. The core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) assembly complex is involved in the de novo synthesis of a [2Fe-2S] cluster, the first step of the mitochondrial iron-sulfur protein biogenesis. This process is initiated by the cysteine desulfurase complex (NFS1:LYRM4:NDUFAB1) that produces persulfide which is delivered on the scaffold protein ISCU in a FXN-dependent manner. Then this complex is stabilized by FDX2 which provides reducing equivalents to accomplish the [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly. Finally, the [2Fe-2S] cluster is transferred from ISCU to chaperone proteins, including HSCB, HSPA9 and GLRX5. May also participates in the iron-sulfur protein biogenesis in the cytoplasm through its interaction with the cytoplasmic form of NFS1.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Component of the mitochondrial core iron-sulfur cluster (ISC) complex composed of NFS1, LYRM4, NDUFAB1, ISCU, FXN, and FDX2; this complex is a heterohexamer containing two copies of each monomer. Component of the cyteine desulfurase complex composed of NFS1, LYRM4 and NDUFAB1; this complex contributes to the stability and cysteine desulfurase activity of NFS1. Interacts with FXN; this interaction is nickel-dependent. Forms a complex with the cytoplasmic form of NFS1; this complex increases the stability and cysteine desulfurase activity of NFS1. Interacts with NFS1. Component of a complex composed of FXN, NFS1, LYRM4 and ISCU.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Reduced mRNA levels in Friedreich ataxia patients.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 38 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.
