Summary
NDUFAF4 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 4, HGNC:21034) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6q16.1, encoding NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex assembly factor 4 (Q9P032). Involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 21.9% of cell lines).
NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I) catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone (coenzyme Q) in the first step of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, resulting in the translocation of protons across the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a complex I assembly factor. Mutations in this gene are a cause of mitochondrial complex I deficiency.

NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] 1 alpha subcomplex assembly factor 4 — Q9P032 (reviewed: Q9P032)
Alternative names: Hormone-regulated proliferation-associated protein of 20 kDa
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9P032
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I). May be involved in cell proliferation and survival of hormone-dependent tumor cells. May be a regulator of breast tumor cell invasion.
Subunit / interactions. Binds calmodulin. Interacts with NDUFAF3. (Microbial infection) Interacts with the vesicular stomatitis virus matrix protein/M; the interaction inhibits viral propagation.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on serine. Prolactin stimulate serine phosphorylation.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 15 (MC1DN15) [MIM:618237] A form of mitochondrial complex I deficiency, the most common biochemical signature of mitochondrial disorders, a group of highly heterogeneous conditions characterized by defective oxidative phosphorylation, which collectively affects 1 in 5-10000 live births. Clinical disorders have variable severity, ranging from lethal neonatal disease to adult-onset neurodegenerative disorders. Phenotypes include macrocephaly with progressive leukodystrophy, non-specific encephalopathy, cardiomyopathy, myopathy, liver disease, Leigh syndrome, Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, and some forms of Parkinson disease. MC1DN15 transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Induction. Expression is low in quiescent cells and is induced in exponentially proliferating cultures. Expression is also induced when prolactin is added to stationary cells. Induced by dietary differentiating agents such as butyrate and retinoic acid.
Similarity. Belongs to the NDUFAF4 family.
