Frataxin often known by the alternate name FXN is a mitochondrial protein with a mass of approximately 21000 Dalton. It is expressed mainly in tissues with high energy demands like the heart liver and pancreas. Frataxin plays an important role in iron-sulfur cluster assembly which is essential for various cellular processes. The protein is a part of mitochondria where it regulates iron homeostasis and prevents oxidative damage by minimizing iron-induced free radical generation.
Biological function summary
Several cellular processes depend on the correct function of this protein. Frataxin assists in forming iron-sulfur clusters acting within a multiprotein complex in the mitochondria. The complex includes proteins such as ISCU which are involved in the assembly and repair of iron-sulfur clusters. These clusters are necessary for supporting mitochondrial electron transport and other fundamental metabolic pathways that require iron-sulfur dependencies.
Pathways
Frataxin's involvement extensively affects the mitochondrial respiratory chain and the mitochondrial biogenesis process. It plays a role in the electron transport chain by stabilizing iron-sulfur-containing complexes. NAB is one associated protein that interacts closely within these pathways sharing a connection through iron-sulfur cluster transportation and assembly systems. Efficient function of these pathways ensures a proper energetic output of cells.
Frataxin mutations are directly linked to Friedreich's ataxia a neurodegenerative disease causing progressive damage to the nervous system. The deficiency or dysfunction in frataxin causes accumulation of iron in mitochondria leading to increased oxidative stress. Another related disorder includes heart disease which emerges due to the same oxidative stress pathway. Proteins such as Nfs1 are also involved sharing the responsibility with frataxin in scavenging excess iron protecting against related tissue damage.
