Protein
BolA-like protein 1
Organism
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c)
Function
Acts as a mitochondrial iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cluster assembly factor that facilitates [4Fe-4S] cluster insertion into a subset of mitochondrial proteins such as LIAS and succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) (PubMed:27532772). Required during the last step of iron-sulfur protein assembly when the iron-sulfur cluster is inserted into the target protein (PubMed:27532772). Probably acts together with the monothiol glutaredoxin GRX5, earlier than BOL3 and NFU1 in the [4Fe-4S] cluster insertion process (PubMed:27532773). Not required for [2Fe-2S] cluster insertion into mitochondrial proteins (PubMed:27532772).
Similarity
Belongs to the BolA/IbaG family.
