Abstract

The mitochondrial respiratory chain is essential for oxidative phosphorylation and comprises multiple complexes, including cytochrome c oxidase, assembled in macromolecular supercomplexes. Little is known about factors that contribute to supercomplex organization. Here we identify COX7RP as a factor that promotes supercomplex assembly. Cox7rp-knockout mice exhibit decreased muscular activity and heat production failure in the cold due to reduced COX activity. In contrast, COX7RP-transgenic mice exhibit increased exercise performance with increased cytochrome c oxidase activity. Two-dimensional blue native electrophoresis reveals that COX7RP is a key molecule that promotes assembly of the III2/IVn supercomplex with complex I. Our study identified COX7RP as a protein that functions in I/III2/IVn supercomplex assembly and is required for full activity of mitochondrial respiration.

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.
