| Post Translational Modifications | In response to mitochondrial stress, the precursor protein is ubiquitinated by the SIFI complex in the cytoplasm before mitochondrial import, leading to its degradation. Within the SIFI complex, UBR4 initiates ubiquitin chain that are further elongated or branched by KCMF1. |
| Function | Membrane-associated protein that warps the membrane surface to access and bind aromatic isoprenes with high specificity, including ubiquinone (CoQ) isoprene intermediates and presents them directly to COQ7, therefore facilitating the COQ7-mediated hydroxylase step. Participates in the biosynthesis of coenzyme Q, also named ubiquinone, an essential lipid-soluble electron transporter for aerobic cellular respiration. |
