Sod2 | Superoxide dismutase 2 (Mn) (Sod2) encodes an enzyme that detoxifies superoxide radicals in mitochondria. The loss of Sod2 generates endogenous oxidative stress that results in reduced activity of critical mitochondrial enzymes, hypersensitivity to oxidative stress and neonatal lethality. A muscle restricted p38Kinase-Mef2-Sod2 signaling module influences life span and stress. (217 aa) | ||||
IscU | Iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme; Scaffold protein for the de novo synthesis of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters within mitochondria, which is required for maturation of both mitochondrial and cytoplasmic [2Fe-2S] and [4Fe-4S] proteins. (154 aa) | ||||
mfrn | Mitoferrin; Mitochondrial iron transporter that mediates iron uptake. Probably required for heme synthesis of hemoproteins and Fe-S cluster assembly; Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family. (379 aa) | ||||
awd | Nucleoside diphosphate kinase; Abnormal wing discs (awd) encodes a nucleotide diphosphate kinase that regulates with the product of shi the endocytosis of different surface proteins (e.g. those encoded by N, btl, Pvr, and shg). During development, it regulates morphogenesis of trachea, follicular epithelium, and imaginal discs and contributes to neurotransmission and border cell migration; Belongs to the NDK family. (168 aa) |
