Gene Description

ATP5MJ encodes subunit j (6.8-kDa mitochondrial proteolipid, MLQ) of mitochondrial F1F0 ATP synthase (complex V). It is a small single-pass inner-membrane protein in the F(o) membrane domain. Although it is a minor, loosely associated subunit, it is needed to maintain the cellular population of ATP synthase. Its knockdown depletes the enzyme post-transcriptionally, lowers mitochondrial ATP synthesis, slows growth and sensitizes cells to glucose deprivation.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Does loss of subunit j block a specific ATP synthase assembly intermediate, or does it increase turnover of the assembled complex?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Knock out ATP5MJ and profile complex V assembly intermediates by complexome profiling, and measure the half-life of assembled ATP synthase with pulse-chase labelling.

Knowledge Gaps

What is not known β€” curated, literature-grounded statements of the open unknowns (the inverse of core functions).

Gap: How subunit j maintains ATP synthase abundance, whether by promoting assembly, stabilizing the assembled complex or protecting it from turnover, is unknown.

OPEN BIOLOGY

What is known: Established: subunit j is an F(o) subunit, and its knockdown depletes ATP synthase without lowering alpha/beta mRNA. Not established: the step at which subunit j acts, or how its variable expression is regulated.
