MGE1 [YOR232W]
GrpE protein homolog, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial matrix cochaperone; nucleotide release factor for Ssc1p in protein translocation and folding; also acts as cochaperone for Ssq1p in folding of Fe-S cluster proteins; acts as oxidative sensor to regulate mitochondrial Ssc1p; in presence of oxidative stress, dimeric Mge1p becomes a monomer and unable to regulate Ssc1p function; homolog of E. coli GrpE and human Mge1 (GRPEL1), which also responds to oxidative stress; Belongs to the GrpE family.
Synonyms: MGE1, MGE1p, P38523, GRPE, GRPE1 ...
