Abstract

Here we show that the yeast mitochondrial chaperone Ssc2p, a homolog of mt-Hsp70, plays a critical role in mitochondrial iron homeostasis. Yeast with ssc2-1 mutations were identified by a screen for altered iron-dependent gene regulation and mitochondrial dysfunction. These mutants exhibit increased cellular iron uptake, and the iron accumulates exclusively within mitochondria. Yfh1p is homologous to frataxin, the human protein implicated in the neurodegenerative disease, Friedreich's ataxia. Like mutants of yfh1, ssc2-1 mutants accumulate vast quantities of iron in mitochondria. Furthermore, using import studies with isolated mitochondria, we demonstrate a specific role for Ssc2p in the maturation of Yfh1p within this organelle. This function for a mitochondrial Hsp70 chaperone is likely to be conserved, implying that a human homolog of Ssc2p may be involved in iron homeostasis and in neurodegenerative disease.

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.
