Summary
NUBPL (NUBP iron-sulfur cluster assembly factor, mitochondrial, HGNC:20278) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q12, encoding Iron-sulfur cluster transfer protein NUBPL (Q8TB37). Iron-sulfur cluster transfer protein involved in the assembly of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I).
This gene encodes a member of the Mrp/NBP35 ATP-binding proteins family. The encoded protein is required for the assembly of the respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (complex I), an oligomeric enzymatic complex located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Mutations in this gene cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Iron-sulfur cluster transfer protein involved in the assembly of the mitochondrial membrane respiratory chain NADH dehydrogenase (Complex I). May deliver one or more Fe-S clusters to complex I subunits.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Highest expression in liver and kidney. expressed at significant levels in small intestine and brain (at protein level).
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex I deficiency, nuclear type 21 (MC1DN21) [MIM:618242] 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. MC1DN21 transmission pattern is consistent with autosomal recessive inheritance. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 [4Fe-4S] cluster.
Miscellaneous. May be due to exon skipping.
Similarity. Belongs to the Mrp/NBP35 ATP-binding proteins family.
