Summary
TIMM50 (translocase of inner mitochondrial membrane 50, HGNC:23656) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.2, encoding Mitochondrial import inner membrane translocase subunit TIM50 (Q3ZCQ8). Essential component of the TIM23 complex, a complex that mediates the translocation of transit peptide-containing proteins across the mitochondrial inner membrane. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 31.9% of cell lines).
This gene encodes a subunit of the TIM23 inner mitochondrial membrane translocase complex. The encoded protein functions as the receptor subunit that recognizes the mitochondrial targeting signal, or presequence, on protein cargo that is destined for the mitochondrial inner membrane and matrix. This protein may also play a role in maintaining the membrane permeability barrier, and knockdown of this gene in human cells results in the release of cytochrome c and apoptosis.

Function. Essential component of the TIM23 complex, a complex that mediates the translocation of transit peptide-containing proteins across the mitochondrial inner membrane. Has some phosphatase activity in vitro; however such activity may not be relevant in vivo. May participate in the release of snRNPs and SMN from the Cajal body.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the TIM23 complex at least composed of TIMM23, TIMM17 (TIMM17A or TIMM17B) and TIMM50; within this complex, directly interacts with TIMM23. The complex interacts with the TIMM44 component of the PAM complex and with DNAJC15. Interacts with COIL and snRNPs.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion inner membrane Nucleus speckle.
Tissue specificity. Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in brain, kidney and liver (at protein level).
Disease relevance. 3-methylglutaconic aciduria 9 (MGCA9) [MIM:617698] An autosomal recessive disease characterized by early-onset seizures, severely delayed psychomotor development and intellectual disability. Patients have hypotonia or spasticity, and laboratory investigations show increased serum lactate and 3-methylglutaconic aciduria. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The FCP1 homology domain does not contain the canonical D-x-D-x-[TV] active site, suggesting that it probably does not display phosphatase activity in vivo.
Similarity. Belongs to the TIM50 family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 212 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.
