Activity summary

Ndufs1 known as NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S1 or complex I 75 kDa subunit forms a significant part of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. This protein shows a mass of 75 kDa and is primarily found in mitochondria among various tissues. Ndufs1 plays an important role in transferring electrons from NADH to ubiquinone facilitating proton translocation across the inner mitochondrial membrane. With its function it contributes to the creation of a proton gradient essential for ATP synthesis.

Biological function summary

Ndufs1 facilitates the primary catalytic activity of the NADH dehydrogenase complex also found within the mitochondrial complex I. By being part of this large multi-subunit complex it helps in electron flow which essential for cellular respiration. Proper functioning of Ndufs1 becomes necessary for maintaining adequate energy production through ATP synthesis in cells impacting energy-dependent processes significantly.

Pathways

Ndufs1 acts mainly within the oxidative phosphorylation pathway. This pathway is indispensable for energy conversion in cells prominently featuring NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone). It relates closely with other critical proteins like Ndufa9 and Ndufb8 as these proteins also integrate into the mitochondrial complex I ensuring effective electron transport and energy yield in cells. The pathway links metabolic flux to energy production keeping cellular operations efficient.

Associated diseases and disorders

Ndufs1 mutations correlate with mitochondrial diseases such as Leigh syndrome and mitochondrial complex I deficiency. These conditions often manifest neurological and muscular symptoms due to impaired mitochondrial function. Ndufs1 connections with proteins like Ndufv1 and additional complex I subunits emphasize its role in regular mitochondrial activity making its study relevant for understanding the pathological basis of these disorders. Researchers focus on Ndufs1 to unravel its impact on cellular metabolism and potential therapeutic targets.
