NDUFB10 (also known as PDSW / Complex I-PDSW) is a nuclear-encoded accessory (supernumerary) subunit of mitochondrial respiratory chain Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase), the first enzyme of the electron transport chain. It is a small (~172 aa, ~20.8 kDa) twin-CX9C-type protein that resides in the membrane arm of Complex I, in the distal P_D domain, lying parallel to the inner-membrane surface on the intermembrane-space face and spanning the ND4 and ND5 subunits; unlike most other P_D accessory subunits it lacks a transmembrane helix. NDUFB10 is imported into the intermembrane space and oxidatively folded by the CHCHD4/MIA40 disulfide-relay system, acquiring intramolecular disulfide bonds that are required for its stable incorporation into the holoenzyme. As a non-catalytic structural subunit it contributes to the structural integrity, assembly and stability of the mature Complex I holoenzyme rather than performing an independent enzymatic reaction; the NADH-dehydrogenase and proton-pumping activities are properties of the assembled complex. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in NDUFB10 cause isolated mitochondrial complex I deficiency (nuclear type 35, MC1DN35), presenting with fatal infantile lactic acidosis and cardiomyopathy. The gene is expressed most highly in oxidative tissues such as heart and skeletal muscle.

| GO:0045271 respiratory chain complex I | IBA GO_REF:0000033 | ACCEPT | Summary: Phylogenetically inferred (IBA) membership in respiratory chain complex I. NDUFB10 is a bona fide, structurally resolved subunit of Complex I, so this cellular-component location is correct and represents a core aspect of the gene. Consistent with the experimental IDA/IPI annotations to the same term. Supporting Evidence: file:human/NDUFB10/NDUFB10-uniprot.txt Complex I is composed of 45 different subunits |
| GO:0005739 mitochondrion | IEA GO_REF:0000117 | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Electronic (ARBA) annotation to the parent term mitochondrion. Correct but less specific than the experimentally supported mitochondrial inner membrane / respiratory chain complex I locations. Kept as non-core because it is subsumed by the more precise localizations. Supporting Evidence: file:human/NDUFB10/NDUFB10-uniprot.txt SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion inner membrane |
| GO:0005743 mitochondrial inner membrane | IEA GO_REF:0000120 | ACCEPT | Summary: Electronic annotation to mitochondrial inner membrane, matching the curated UniProt subcellular location and the experimental IDA/IMP annotations to the same term.

| GO:1902600 proton transmembrane transport | IEA GO_REF:0000108 | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Logically inferred (GO_REF:0000108) from the complex-level NADH dehydrogenase activity term. Proton translocation is a property of the assembled Complex I holoenzyme carried out largely by the core ND4/ND5/ND2 antiporter-like subunits, not by this non-catalytic accessory subunit lacking a transmembrane domain. Over-attribution of a complex-level activity to a single supernumerary subunit. Supporting Evidence: PMID:28040730 does not contain a transmembrane domain |

Correct and consistent with the curated UniProt location. |
| GO:0009060 aerobic respiration | NAS PMID:30030361 Assembly of mammalian oxidative phosphorylation complexes I-... | KEEP AS NON CORE | Summary: Author statement (ComplexPortal) that Complex I participates in aerobic respiration. True at the complex level; for NDUFB10 this is a broad downstream process rather than the gene's specific function. Kept as non-core; the more precise BP is mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone (GO:0006120). |

This is an OXPHOS system-level / downstream outcome, not a function of this non-catalytic accessory subunit (ATP synthesis is performed by Complex V). Over-attribution of a pathway-level process to a single subunit. |

This is the one functionally meaningful interaction: NDUFB10 transiently binds the IMS disulfide-relay oxidoreductase CHCHD4 during import and oxidative folding. However, the bare "protein binding" term is uninformative; experimental IPI so retained, but marked over-annotated. The biology is captured in core_functions (structural molecule activity / Complex I assembly) and notes. Supporting Evidence: PMID:28040730 during its mitochondrial import and maturation NDUFB10 transiently interacts with CHCHD4 and acquires disulfide bonds |

A real import-machinery interaction but the bare term is uninformative about molecular function. Experimental IPI, retained but marked over-annotated. Supporting Evidence: PMID:14557246 other mitochondrial preproteins, ATP/ADP carrier protein and NDUFB10, which lack a cleavable presequence, also bound to AIP as well as to Tom20 |
| GO:0006120 mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone | NAS PMID:9878551 cDNA of eight nuclear encoded subunits of NADH:ubiquinone ox... | ACCEPT | Summary: Author statement that NDUFB10, as a Complex I subunit, participates in the transfer of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone. This is the specific biological process of Complex I and an appropriate core BP for a genuine structural subunit, understood as contributory participation rather than NDUFB10 itself catalyzing electron transfer. Supporting Evidence: PMID:9878551 Its main function is the transport of electrons from NADH to ubiquinone |
| GO:0008137 NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity | NAS PMID:9878551 cDNA of eight nuclear encoded subunits of NADH:ubiquinone ox... | MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED | Summary: Author statement assigning the complex-level NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) catalytic activity directly to NDUFB10 via the "enables" qualifier. NDUFB10 is a non-catalytic accessory subunit lacking the redox cofactors (flavin, Fe-S clusters) required for this activity; the activity belongs to the assembled holoenzyme. NDUFB10 contributes_to but does not enable it. Best captured as contributes_to_molecular_function in core_functions; the direct "enables" annotation is an over-annotation. Supporting Evidence: PMID:27626371 Bacterial and human complex I share 14 core subunits that are essential for enzymatic function |
| GO:0005198 structural molecule activity | IDA PMID:28040730 Mutations in the accessory subunit NDUFB10 result in isolate... | NEW | Summary: Proposed new molecular-function annotation capturing the honest, subunit-specific MF of NDUFB10: it is a non-catalytic structural subunit that contributes to the structural integrity of Complex I. This replaces the over-annotated complex-level NADH dehydrogenase activity as the appropriate MF for this accessory subunit (it contributes_to GO:0008137). Supporting Evidence: PMID:28040730 the bovine homolog PDSW of human NDUFB10 appears to be located parallel to the membrane on the IMS face spanning ND4 and ND5 |
| GO:0032981 mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly | IMP PMID:28040730 Mutations in the accessory subunit NDUFB10 result in isolate... | NEW | Summary: Proposed new biological-process annotation. NDUFB10 is required for assembly of the Complex I holoenzyme: loss-of-function mutations perturb assembly at the ~830 kDa stage, and knockdown reduces the amount of fully assembled complex I. This is a core function of the gene not currently captured in GOA. Supporting Evidence: PMID:28040730 resulting in the perturbed assembly of the holoenzyme at the 830 kDa stage |
