PGAM5
Domain
The N-terminal 35 amino acids, including the potential transmembrane alpha-helix, function as a non-cleaved mitochondrial targeting sequence that targets the protein to the cytosolic side of the outer mitochondrial membrane.
Function
Mitochondrial serine/threonine phosphatase that dephosphorylates various substrates and thus plays a role in different biological processes including cellular senescence or mitophagy (PubMed:24746696, PubMed:32439975). Modulates cellular senescence by regulating mitochondrial dynamics. Mechanistically, participates in mitochondrial fission through dephosphorylating DNM1L/DRP1 (PubMed:32439975). Additionally, dephosphorylates MFN2 in a stress-sensitive manner and consequently protects it from ubiquitination and degradation to promote mitochondrial network formation (PubMed:37498743). Regulates mitophagy independent of PARKIN by interacting with and dephosphorylating FUNDC1, which interacts with LC3 (PubMed:24746696). Regulates anti-oxidative response by forming a tertiary complex with KEAP1 and NRF2 (PubMed:18387606). Regulates necroptosis by acting as a RIPK3 target and recruiting the RIPK1-RIPK3-MLKL necrosis 'attack' complex to mitochondria (PubMed:22265414).
Post-translational modifications
Both isoform 1 and isoform 2 are phosphorylated by the RIPK1/RIPK3 complex under necrotic conditions. This phosphorylation increases PGAM5 phosphatase activity.
Proteolytically cleaved by PARL in response to loss of mitochondrial membrane potential.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family. BPG-dependent PGAM subfamily.
Cellular localization
- Mitochondrion outer membrane
- Single-pass membrane protein
- Mitochondrion inner membrane
- Single-pass membrane protein
- Isoform 2 overexpression results in the formation of disconnected punctuate mitochondria distributed throughout the cytoplasm. Isoform 1 overexpression results in the clustering of mitochondria around the nucleus.
