Function. Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase, a multisubunit transmembrane complex that is part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain which drives oxidative phosphorylation. The respiratory chain contains 3 multisubunit complexes succinate dehydrogenase (complex II, CII), ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-c1 complex, complex III, CIII) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV, CIV), that cooperate to transfer electrons derived from NADH and succinate to molecular oxygen, creating an electrochemical gradient over the inner membrane that drives transmembrane transport and the ATP synthase. The cytochrome b-c1 complex catalyzes electron transfer from ubiquinol to cytochrome c, linking this redox reaction to translocation of protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane, with protons being carried across the membrane as hydrogens on the quinol. In the process called Q cycle, 2 protons are consumed from the matrix, 4 protons are released into the intermembrane space and 2 electrons are passed to cytochrome c. The Rieske protein is a catalytic core subunit containing a [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster. It cycles between 2 conformational states during catalysis to transfer electrons from the quinol bound in the Q(0) site in cytochrome b to cytochrome c1. Incorporation of UQCRFS1 is the penultimate step in complex III assembly. Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-c1 complex, complex III, CIII). UQCRFS1 undergoes proteolytic processing once it is incorporated in the complex III dimer. One of the fragments, called subunit 9, corresponds to its mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS). The proteolytic processing is necessary for the correct insertion of UQCRFS1 in the complex III dimer, but the persistence of UQCRFS1-derived fragments may prevent newly imported UQCRFS1 to be processed and assembled into complex III and is detrimental for the complex III structure and function.
Subunit / interactions. Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-c1 complex, complex III, CIII), a multisubunit enzyme composed of 11 subunits. The complex is composed of 3 respiratory subunits cytochrome b, cytochrome c1 and Rieske protein UQCRFS1, 2 core protein subunits UQCRC1/QCR1 and UQCRC2/QCR2, and 6 low-molecular weight protein subunits UQCRH/QCR6, UQCRB/QCR7, UQCRQ/QCR8, UQCR10/QCR9, UQCR11/QCR10 and subunit 9, the cleavage product of Rieske protein UQCRFS1. The complex exists as an obligatory dimer and forms supercomplexes (SCs) in the inner mitochondrial membrane with NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase (complex I, CI) and cytochrome c oxidase (complex IV, CIV), resulting in different assemblies (supercomplex SCI(1)III(2)IV(1) and megacomplex MCI(2)III(2)IV(2)). Incorporation of the Rieske protein UQCRFS1 is the penultimate step in complex III assembly. Interacts with TTC19, which is involved in the clearance of UQCRFS1 fragments. Component of the ubiquinol-cytochrome c oxidoreductase (cytochrome b-c1 complex, complex III, CIII). Subunit 9 corresponds to the mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS) of Rieske protein UQCRFS1. It is retained after processing and incorporated inside complex III, where it remains bound to the complex and localizes between the 2 core subunits UQCRC1/QCR1 and UQCRC2/QCR2.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion inner membrane.
Post-translational modifications. Proteolytic processing is necessary for the correct insertion of UQCRFS1 in the complex III dimer. Several fragments are generated during UQCRFS1 insertion, most probably due to the endogenous matrix-processing peptidase (MPP) activity of the 2 core protein subunits UQCRC1/QCR1 and UQCRC2/QCR2, which are homologous to the 2 mitochondrial-processing peptidase (MPP) subunits beta-MPP and alpha-MPP respectively. The action of the protease is also necessary for the clearance of the UQCRFS1 fragments.
Disease relevance. Mitochondrial complex III deficiency, nuclear type 10 (MC3DN10) [MIM:618775] A form of mitochondrial complex III deficiency, a disorder of the mitochondrial respiratory chain resulting in a highly variable phenotype depending on which tissues are affected. MC3DN10 is an autosomal recessive form characterized by fetal bradycardia, poor feeding, hypotonia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, alopecia totalis, low mitochondrial complex III activity and lactic acidosis. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Cofactor. Binds 1 [2Fe-2S] cluster per subunit. Fe-S cluster delivery to the Rieske protein is mediated by components of the iron sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly machinery that reside in the mitochondrial matrix (including HSC20 and LYRM7).
Miscellaneous. The Rieske protein is a high potential 2Fe-2S protein.
Similarity. Belongs to the Rieske iron-sulfur protein family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 97 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.
