    basic FUNCTION
  • may be required for the assembly pathway of mitochondrial outer membrane proteins
  • DNM1l is a GTPase protein responsible for mitochondrial division, and SAMM50 is responsible for protein sorting and assembly
  • SAMM50 affects the DNM1L-dependent mitochondrial morphology
  • tagged SAMM50 is not uniformly distributed in the outer mitochondrial membrane and appears to incompletely overlap with CHCHD3- or IMMT-positive domains, most notably at the crista junctions (CJs)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • SAMM50 is a part of the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM) necessary for the assembly of beta-barrel proteins in the outer membrane (OMM)
  • most important subunits of the MIB complex in human mitochondria are IMMT, CHCHD3 and an outer membrane component SAMM50
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • association with six other proteins, metaxins 1, and 2, CHCHD3, CHCHD6 and DNAJC11, IMMT (putative role in protein import related to maintenance of mitochondrial
  • MINOS1 interacts with TOMM40 and SAMM50 independently and the core subunit IMMT is involved in biogenesis of outer membrane beta-barrel proteins
  • APOOL physically interacts with several subunits of the MINOS complex, namely IMMT, MINOS1, and SAMM50
  • IMMT and CHCHD6 directly interacted with SAMM50
  • SAMM50 interacts with DNM1L
