    text
  • mitochondrial inner membrane protein
    • basic FUNCTION
  • controls mitochondrial cristae morphology
  • critical organizer of the mitochondrial cristae morphology and thus indispensable for normal mitochondrial function
  • mediator of the mitochondrial function of DISC1
  • mitofilin distinctly functions in cristae remodeling and controls cytochrome c release during apoptosis
  • integrating role of MINOS subunits (IMMT, MINOS1, and CHCHD3) in the structural organization of the organelle in mitochondria
  • mitochondria protein, related to cardiac hypertrophy
  • plays a central role in mitochondrial morphology
  • unrecognized important role of IMMT in mtDNA transcription
  • has a critical role in the MICOS assembly, which determines the mitochondrial morphology and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) organization
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • IMMT and CHCHD6, which physically interact, are two components of the MICOS
  • 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 SAMM50 (putative role in protein import related to maintenance of mitochondrial structure)
  • PARP1 interactor (promotes and is required for PARP1 mitochondrial localization)
  • interaction between PINK1 and Mitofilin
  • functional link between DISC1 and Mitofilin for the normal mitochondrial function
  • 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
  • interacts with mitochondrial transcription factors TFAM and TFB2M
  • direct interaction between IMMT and CHCHD3, which is crucial for their stabilization in mammals
  • IMMT homeostasis regulated by YME1L1 is central to the MICOS assembly, which is required for maintenance of mitochondrial morphology and organization of mtDNA nucleoids
  • IMMT and CHCHD6 directly interacted with SAMM50
  • IMMT is a PRKACA substrate
  • transiently interacts with PINK1, and IMMT downregulation leads to a reduction in PINK1 and mislocalization of PRKN
