physiological function | primary enzyme responsible for the maturation of the vast majority of nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins, which is necessary for life at the cellular level. Analysis of lymphoblastoid cells and fibroblasts from patients homozygous for the PMPCA p.Ala377Thr, a mutation in the alpha subunit of mitochondrial processing peptidase and carriers demonstrate that the mutation impacts both the level of the alpha subunit encoded by PMPCA and the function of mitochondrial processing peptidase. This mutation impacts the maturation process of frataxin, the protein which is depleted in Friedreich ataxia | Homo sapiens |
