Also known as dJ842G6.1
Summary
NDUFAF5 (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex assembly factor 5, HGNC:15899) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20p12.1, encoding Arginine-hydroxylase NDUFAF5, mitochondrial (Q5TEU4). Arginine hydroxylase that mediates hydroxylation of ‘Arg-111’ of NDUFS7 and is involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I, MT-ND1) at early stages.
The NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I) of the mitochondrial respiratory chain catalyzes the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone, and consists of at least 43 subunits. The complex is located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. This gene encodes a mitochondrial protein that is associated with the matrix face of the mitochondrial inner membrane and is required for complex I assembly. A mutation in this gene results in mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Arginine hydroxylase that mediates hydroxylation of ‘Arg-111’ of NDUFS7 and is involved in the assembly of mitochondrial NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase complex (complex I, MT-ND1) at early stages. May also have methyltransferase activity.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with NDUFAF8, leading to stabilize NDUFAF5. Interacts with NDUFS7. Interacts with PYURF (via TRM112 domain); the interaction is direct and stabilizes NDUFAF5 protein.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion inner membrane.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 16 (MC1DN16) [MIM:618238] 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. MC1DN16 transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the methyltransferase superfamily.
