    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal part of ATAD3A is outside the inner mitochondrial membrane, having two coiled-coil domains with high oligomerization probability within the N terminus
  • a predicted transmembrane segment in the central part of the molecule
  • a VLEAL motif, directly contributing to the interaction with S100B
  • an "IQ motif" (residues 300 to 305) is also present which could contribute to the interaction with S100B (this binding domain may represent a consensus Ca2+-dependent S100B binding sequence)
  • C-terminal part is inside the matrix , with a conserved ATPase domain

  • anchored in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is enriched in outer-inner mitochondrial membrane contact sites
  • basic FUNCTION
  • has displacement loop binding properties and is involved in mitochondrial nucleoid organization
  • transmembrane ATPase, which is predicted to form hexamers
  • mitochondrial and a major calcium-dependent S100B binding protein
  • regulates mitochondrial dynamics at the interface between the inner and outer membranes and controls diverse cell responses ranging from mitochondrial metabolism, cell growth, and mitochondrial fission
  • ATAD3A was associated with prostate specific antigen (PSA) secretion and drug resistance in prostate cancer (PCa)
  • is present in five native mitochondrial protein complexes of different sizes, indicating complex roles of the protein in mitochondrial architecture and function
  • role of ATAD3A in the delivery of the substrate cholesterol into the mitochondria
  • ATAD3A-mediated, mitochondria-associated membranes (MAMs) formation participates in the optimal transfer of cholesterol from the ER into mitochondria for steroidogenesis
  • nuclear-encoded mitochondrial membrane protein implicated in mitochondrial dynamics, nucleoid organization, protein translation, cell growth, and cholesterol metabolism
  • function of ATAD3A in mitochondrial dynamics
  • is required to maintain the proper size and number of mitochondria in neurons and muscles

  • S100B-ATAD3A interaction could significantly increase the calcium affinity by decreasing the off rate of calcium, which was observed previously for S100B and for other S100-target protein interactions
  • interaction of ATAD3A with MFN2, OPA1, and DNM1L, suggesting that ATAD3A may affect mitochondrial dynamics via interaction with these proteins
  • ATAD3B is a negative regulator of ATAD3A and may function as an adaptor of mitochondrial homeostasis and metabolism in hESCs and cancer cells
  • ATAD3A interacts with the WASF3 metastasis-promoting protein
  • stabilization of WASF3 function occurs through its interaction with ATAD3A and HSPA5, which may provide a bridge between the ER and mitochondria, allowing communication between the two organelles
  • ATAD3A interacted with COA3, a subunit of the cytochrome oxidase (COX)-assembly complex
  • simultaneously interacts with the outer and inner mitochondrial membranes
