Glutaredoxin-related protein 5, mitochondrial; Monothiol glutaredoxin involved in the biogenesis of iron- sulfur clusters (By similarity). Involved in protein lipoylation, acting in the pathway that provides an iron-sulfur cluster to lipoate synthase (By similarity). Required for normal iron homeostasis (By similarity). Required for normal regulation of hemoglobin synthesis by the iron-sulfur protein ACO1 (By similarity). May protect cells against apoptosis due to reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress.

Mitochondrial potassium channel ATP-binding subunit; ATP-binding subunit of the mitochondrial potassium channel located in the mitochondrial inner membrane (By similarity). Together with CCDC51/MITOK, forms a protein complex localized in the mitochondria that mediates ATP-dependent potassium currents across the inner membrane (that is, mitoK(ATP) channel) (By similarity). Plays a role in mitochondrial iron transport. Required for maintenance of normal cardiac function, possibly by influencing mitochondrial iron export and regulating the maturation of cytosolic iron sulfur cluster-conta [...]

Mitoferrin-1; Mitochondrial iron transporter that specifically mediates iron uptake in developing erythroid cells, thereby playing an essential role in heme biosynthesis. The iron delivered into the mitochondria, presumably as Fe(2+), is then probably delivered to ferrochelatase to catalyze Fe(2+) incorporation into protoprophyrin IX to make heme.

Mitochondrial glycine transporter; Mitochondrial glycine transporter that imports glycine into the mitochondrial matrix. Plays an important role in providing glycine for the first enzymatic step in heme biosynthesis, the condensation of glycine with succinyl-CoA to produce 5-aminolevulinate (ALA) in the mitochondrial matrix. Required during erythropoiesis. Belongs to the mitochondrial carrier (TC 2.A.29) family. SLC25A38 subfamily.

MICOS complex subunit Mic60; Component of the MICOS complex, a large protein complex of the mitochondrial inner membrane that plays crucial roles in the maintenance of crista junctions, inner membrane architecture, and formation of contact sites to the outer membrane. Plays an important role in the maintenance of the MICOS complex stability and the mitochondrial cristae morphology.

Cysteine desulfurase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the removal of elemental sulfur from cysteine to produce alanine. It supplies the inorganic sulfur for iron-sulfur (Fe- S) clusters. May be involved in the biosynthesis of molybdenum cofactor (By similarity); Belongs to the class-V pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family. NifS/IscS subfamily.

Iron-sulfur cluster assembly enzyme ISCU, mitochondrial; 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. First, a [2Fe-2S] cluster is transiently assembled on the scaffold protein ISCU. In a second step, the cluster is released from ISCU, transferred to a glutaredoxin GLRX5, followed by the formation of mitochondrial [2Fe-2S] proteins, the synthesis of [4Fe-4S] clusters and their target-specific insertion into the recipient apoproteins. C [...]

Frataxin intermediate form; Promotes the biosynthesis of heme and assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters by delivering Fe(2+) to proteins involved in these pathways. May play a role in the protection against iron-catalyzed oxidative stress through its ability to catalyze the oxidation of Fe(2+) to Fe(3+); the oligomeric form but not the monomeric form has in vitro ferroxidase activity. May be able to store large amounts of iron in the form of a ferrihydrite mineral by oligomerization. Modulates the RNA-binding activity of ACO1 (By similarity); Belongs to the frataxin family.
