  • localized in the mitochondria 2)
    • basic FUNCTION
  • may play an important role in redox signaling in cancer cells
  • integral mitochondrial inner-membrane protein that coordinately regulates mitochondrial morphology and cell proliferation
  • ROMO1-derived ROS play potentially an important role in apoptotic cell death triggered by withdrawal of cell survival factors
  • recruits BCL2L1 to reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential, resulting in ROS production and apoptotic cell death
  • molecular bridge between TNF-alpha signaling and the mitochondria for ROS production that triggers TNF-alpha-mediated apoptosis, as well as a novel target in the development of anti-inflammatory agents that block the origin of ROS production
  • subsequently triggers SKP2-mediated ubiquitylation and degradation of MYC
  • is responsible for a serum deprivation-induced increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS)
  • involved in generation of reactive oxygen species in mitochondria
  • localized in the mitochondria and mediates mitochondrial ROS production through complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain
  • mediates mitochondrial ROS production and apoptosis induced by oxidative stress in lung epithelial cells
  • is a new translocase constituent with an exceptionally short half-life

  • ROMO1 and B-cell lymphoma-extra large (BCL2L1) are directly associated with TNF-alpha-induced ROS production
  • while ROMO1 is dispensable for general protein import along the presequence pathway, it participates in the dynamics of TIMM21 during respiratory chain biogenesis and is specifically required for import of YME1L
