Cytosolic Fe-S cluster assembly factor NUBP2 (NUBP2)

The protein contains 271 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 28825 Da.

 

Component of the cytosolic iron-sulfur (Fe/S) protein assembly (CIA) machinery. Required for maturation of extramitochondrial Fe-S proteins. The NUBP1-NUBP2 heterotetramer forms a Fe-S scaffold complex, mediating the de novo assembly of an Fe-S cluster and its transfer to target apoproteins. Negatively regulates cilium formation and structure. (updated: Oct. 25, 2017)

DESCRIPTION

NUBP2 is a member of the NUBP/MRP gene subfamily of ATP-binding proteins (see NUBP1; 600280) (Nakashima et al., 1999).

CLONING

Nakashima et al. (1999) cloned mouse Nubp2 and used the murine sequence as a probe in EST database analysis, followed by screening a human teratoma cDNA library to clone full-length human NUBP2. The 271-amino acid human NUBP2 protein shares 72.6% amino acid similarity with mouse Nubp2. Northern blot analysis detected a 1.4-kb NUBP2 transcript with ubiquitous expression in all human adult and fetal tissues tested, with highest expression in adult skeletal muscle. NUBP2 contains conserved an ATP/GTP binding motif A (P-loop), an ATP/GTP binding motif A-prime, and NUBP/MRP alpha and beta motifs. NUBP2 lacks an additional N-terminal sequence with 4 cysteine residues that is present in NUBP1.

GENE FUNCTION

Roy et al. (2003) showed that yeast Cfd1 was required for cytosolic Fe-S cluster biogenesis and conversion of mammalian IRP1 (ACO1; 100880) to cytosolic aconitase in yeast. Stehling et al. (2008) found that NBP35 (NUBP1) interacted with coexpressed CFD1 in transfected HeLa cells, suggesting that, like NBP35, CFD1 may function in the regulation of cellular iron homeostasis and cytosolic Fe-S protein assembly.

MAPPING

Hartz (2012) mapped the NUBP2 gene to chromosome 16p13.3 based on an alignment of the NUBP2 sequence (GenBank GENBANK AF118394) with the genomic sequence (GRCh37). Nakashima et al. (1999) mapped the mouse Nubp2 gene to the t-complex region of chromosome 17, which shows homology of synteny to human chromosome 16p13.3. ... More on the omim web site
