Gene Description

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_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.

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.

Summary: IPI "protein binding" with interactor Q8N4Q1 (CHCHD4/MIA40). 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.

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.

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).

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

Core Functions

Non-catalytic structural subunit that contributes to the structural integrity, assembly and stability of the Complex I holoenzyme, and thereby to the complex-level NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity; NDUFB10 sits in the membrane arm (distal P_D domain) as a twin-CX9C protein oxidatively folded on the IMS face.

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
  • PMID:27626371
    Accessory subunits are integral for assembly and function of human mitochondrial complex I
