Also known as CGI-33NifUNIFUC
Summary
NFU1 (NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold, HGNC:16287) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2p13.3, encoding NFU1 iron-sulfur cluster scaffold homolog, mitochondrial (Q9UMS0). Iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein which can assemble [4Fe-4S] clusters and deliver them to target proteins. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 11.3% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that is localized to mitochondria and plays a critical role in iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis. The encoded protein assembles and transfers 4Fe-4S clusters to target apoproteins including succinate dehydrogenase and lipoic acid synthase. Mutations in this gene are a cause of multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome-1, and pseudogenes of this gene are located on the short arms of chromosomes 1 and 3. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

- NFU is a functionally competent reducing agent for cysteinyl persulfide bond cleavage, releasing inorganic sulfide for incorporation into the iron-sulfur-bound [2Fe-2S] cluster, a reactivity that may be facilitated by flexibility of the C-terminal domain. (PMID:19722697)

- a leaky splicing regulation due to a splice site mutation (c.545+5G>A) that produces small amounts of wild type NFU1 mRNA that might result in enough protein to partially lipoylate and restore the activity of lipoic acid-dependent enzymes and the assembly and activity of complex I.

- Study used NMR spectroscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering data to determine the 3D structure of human mitochondrial NFU1 in its apo- and iron-sulfur cluster-containing holo-form. Apo- NFU1 is monomeric, whereas holo-NFU1 consists of a trimer of three [4Fe-4S] cluster-linked dimers. (PMID:27818104)
- Analysis of protein stability and oligomeric state demonstrates that the Gly208Cys mutant increases the propensity to dimerize and perturbs the secondary structure composition.

Function. Iron-sulfur cluster scaffold protein which can assemble [4Fe-4S] clusters and deliver them to target proteins.
Subunit / interactions. Monomer and homohexamer; the apo-NFU1 is a monomer, while the holo-NFU1 is a hexamer composed of a trimer of dimer that is probably linked by some 4Fe-4S cluster. Interacts with HIRA and EPM2A/laforin. Interacts with BOLA3. Interacts with HSPA9.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous. Expression in adult lung is weak compared to fetal lung.
Disease relevance. Multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 1 (MMDS1) [MIM:605711] A severe disorder of systemic energy metabolism, resulting in weakness, respiratory failure, lack of neurologic development, lactic acidosis, hyperglycinemia and early death. Some patients show failure to thrive, pulmonary hypertension, hypotonia and irritability. Biochemical features include severe combined deficiency of the 2-oxoacid dehydrogenases, defective lipoic acid synthesis and reduction in activity of mitochondrial respiratory chain complexes. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Spastic paraplegia 93, autosomal recessive (SPG93) [MIM:620938] A form of spastic paraplegia, a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a slow, gradual, progressive weakness and spasticity of the lower limbs. Rate of progression and the severity of symptoms are quite variable. Initial symptoms may include difficulty with balance, weakness and stiffness in the legs, muscle spasms, and dragging the toes when walking. In some forms of the disorder, bladder symptoms (such as incontinence) may appear, or the weakness and stiffness may spread to other parts of the body. Some SPG93 patients have neurodevelopmental delay with severe hypotonia. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the NifU family.
