Abstract

Unlike matrix-targeted or inner membrane proteins, those that are targeted to the mitochondrial intermembrane space (IMS) do not require ATP or the inner membrane electrochemical potential. Their import is mediated primarily by the essential IMS protein Mia40/Tim40. Here, we show that the mitochondrial flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-linked sulfhydryl oxidase Erv1 (essential for respiration and vegetative growth 1) plays a central role in the biogenesis of small, cysteine proteins of the IMS that are import substrates for Mia40. In a temperature-sensitive strain of Erv1, steady-state levels of small translocases of the inner membrane (Tims) are specifically affected when cells are grown at the non-permissive temperature. Furthermore, mitochondria isolated from the erv1-ts show a specific import and assembly defect for the small Tims but not in any other protein import pathway. Erv1 does not directly oxidise the small Tims, as thiol trapping assays show that the small Tims can still be oxidised in erv1-ts cells grown at the non-permissive temperature and in isolated mitochondria from this strain. Moreover, addition of pure Erv1 into erv1-ts mitochondria lacking the endogenous protein restores import and assembly of the small Tims only to an extent, arguing for a cascade of interactions with Erv1 rather than for a direct interaction of Erv1 with the small Tims. Cytochrome c (cyt c) is the in vivo oxidase for Erv1, as yeast cells mutated in cyt c cannot grow under anaerobic conditions. Therefore, Erv1 functionally links the Mia40-dependent import pathway to the Mia40-independent cyt c import pathway transferring electrons from the incoming precursors to cyt c as an acceptor. In this context, the protein import process is linked to the respiratory chain via the communication of Erv1 with cyt c.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
