---|---|---|
physiological function | protease AFG3L2 is a caveolin-1-interacting protein in vitro. Oxidative stress promotes the translocation of both caveolin-1 and AFG3L2 to mitochondria, enhances the interaction of caveolin-1 with AFG3L2 in mitochondria and stimulates mitochondrial protease activity in wild-type fibroblasts. Localization of AFG3L2 to mitochondria after oxidative stress is inhibited in fibroblasts lacking caveolin-1, which results in impaired mitochondrial protein quality control, an oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis switch and reduced ATP production. Expression of a mutant form of AFG3L2 with reduced affinity for caveolin-1, fails to localize to mitochondria and promotes degradation of complex IV after oxidative stress | Mus musculus |
