Supplementary information

The MTERF (Mitochondrial Transcription Termination Factor) protein also known by alternative names like MTERF1 or h-mTERF functions mechanically by binding to mitochondrial DNA and regulating the transcription and replication processes. This protein with a mass of around 41 kDa exists predominantly in the mitochondria an organelle important for energy production in cells. MTERF plays an important role in ensuring proper mitochondrial function by terminating the transcription of mitochondrial genes.
Biological function summary

MTERF facilitates the control of gene expression within the mitochondria influencing the synthesis of essential components for the electron transport chain. It participates as part of a complex that interacts with mitochondrial DNA controlling the expression of the heavy and light strand promoters. These functions are necessary for maintaining mitochondrial DNA's integrity and proper cellular respiration.

Pathways

Mitochondrial biogenesis and homeostasis represent significant roles for MTERF particularly within the context of oxidative phosphorylation and apoptosis pathways. In oxidative phosphorylation MTERF ensures efficient energy production by regulating gene transcription. The protein interacts with other mitochondrial elements such as TFAM (Transcription Factor A Mitochondrial) and POLRMT (Mitochondrial RNA Polymerase) coordinating the replication and transcription processes.

MTERF has been connected to conditions like Mitochondrial Encephalopathy and Parkinson’s Disease. Disruptions in its function can affect mitochondrial integrity leading to neurological symptoms. MTERF is linked with proteins like COX1 and ATPase6 where its dysregulation can alter their expression contributing to disease pathogenesis. Understanding its role gives insight into developing therapeutic approaches targeting mitochondrial-related disorders.

Target data

Transcription termination factor. Binds to a 28 bp region within the tRNA(Leu(uur)) gene at a position immediately adjacent to and downstream of the 16S rRNA gene; this region comprises a tridecamer sequence critical for directing accurate termination. Binds DNA along the major grove and promotes DNA bending and partial unwinding. Promotes base flipping. Transcription termination activity appears to be polarized with highest specificity for transcripts initiated on the light strand.
