UniProt functional annotation for L0R8F8

UniProt code: L0R8F8.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in the regulation of mitochondrial fission mediated by DNM1L (PubMed:29083303). Positively regulates mitochondrial translation (PubMed:30215512). May play a role in ribosome biogenesis by preventing premature association of the 28S and 39S ribosomal subunits (Probable). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:29083303, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30215512, ECO:0000305|PubMed:28892042}.
 
Subunit: Identified in a complex composed of MALSU1, MIEF1 upstream open reading frame protein and NDUFAB1; within the trimeric complex, MIEF1 upstream open reading frame protein functions as a bridging scaffold that interacts with MALSU1 on one side, and with NDUFAB1 on the other side (PubMed:28892042, PubMed:30215512). Within the complex, MALSU1 mediates interaction with the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit (PubMed:28892042). Interacts with ribosomal proteins MRPL4 and MRPS27 (PubMed:30215512). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30215512}.
Subcellular location: Mitochondrion matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:28892042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29083303, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30215512}.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 3]: Product of the upstream open reading frame of this bicistronic gene. {ECO:0000305|PubMed:25621764}.
Similarity: Belongs to the complex I LYR family. {ECO:0000305}.
