| Type: | Family | Name: | ATP12, ATPase F1F0-assembly protein |
| Description: | This entry represents a group of ATPase F1F0-assembly proteins, including ATP12 and ATPAF2 (ATP synthase mitochondrial F1 complex assembly factor 2). These proteins are essential for the assembly of the mitochondrial F1-F0 complex. Mitochondrial F1-ATPase is an oligomeric enzyme composed of five distinct subunit polypeptides. The alpha and beta subunits make up the bulk of protein mass of F1. In Saccharomyces cerevisiaeboth subunits are synthesised as precursors with N-terminal targeting signals that are removed upon translocation of the proteins to the matrix compartment []. These proteins include examples from eukaryotes and bacteria and may have chaperone activity, being involved in F1 ATPase complex assembly. | Short Name: | ATP12_ATPase-F1F0-assembly |
