Gene Description

NDUFV2 (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein 2; also called the 24 kDa subunit) is a nuclear-encoded core catalytic subunit of the N-module (NADH-oxidising module) of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Together with NDUFV1 (51 kDa, which carries the FMN and NADH-binding site) and NDUFS1 it forms the flavoprotein (FP) subcomplex at the tip of the peripheral (matrix) arm. NDUFV2 coordinates the N1a [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster located near the FMN/NADH site, and this cluster is part of the electron-entry pathway by which electrons from NADH are relayed into the chain of iron-sulfur clusters that ultimately reduce ubiquinone. The protein is imported into mitochondria via a cleaved N-terminal transit peptide and is a peripheral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane on the matrix side. Loss-of-function or destabilising variants in NDUFV2 cause mitochondrial complex I deficiency (nuclear type 7), presenting as an encephalocardiomyopathy with early-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, encephalopathy, and Leigh syndrome; a targeting-sequence polymorphism has also been reported as a Parkinson disease susceptibility factor.

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0003954 NADH dehydrogenase activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation with the contributes_to qualifier capturing that NDUFV2 is a subunit of the NADH dehydrogenase enzyme (Complex I). This is the general NADH dehydrogenase activity term; the ubiquinone-specific child term GO:0008137 is also annotated and is the more precise molecular function for this enzyme.
Reason: NDUFV2 is a bona fide core subunit of the flavoprotein module of Complex I and contributes to its NADH-oxidising activity; contributes_to is the correct qualifier for a multi-subunit enzyme subunit.

Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation to the core biological process of Complex I. This is the central, defining biological role of NDUFV2 as part of the electron-transfer chain from NADH to ubiquinone.
Reason: This is the core BP of NDUFV2; strongly supported by the IBA plus experimental (IDA/IMP) and UniProt evidence that NDUFV2 is a core subunit of the NADH-oxidising module of Complex I.

Summary: Phylogenetic (IBA) annotation placing NDUFV2 as part of respiratory chain complex I. This is the correct complex/location for this core subunit and is corroborated by multiple experimental (IDA/IMP/IPI) annotations.
Reason: NDUFV2 is an established structural component of Complex I (flavoprotein/FP subcomplex of the peripheral arm); the complex membership is well supported.

Summary: Electronic (IEA) subcellular-location annotation to the mitochondrial inner membrane, the correct anatomical location for Complex I. NDUFV2 is a peripheral inner-membrane protein on the matrix side. Corroborated by IDA (PMID:28844695), ISS and TAS annotations to the same term.
Reason: Consistent with UniProt subcellular location and the well-established topology of Complex I; NDUFV2 sits in the matrix-side peripheral arm anchored at the inner membrane.

GO_REF:0000120
MODIFY
Summary: Electronic (IEA) annotation to the enzyme's specific catalytic molecular function, NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity (EC 7.1.1.2, RHEA:29091). This is the defining catalytic activity of Complex I; NDUFV2 is a core subunit contributing to it.
Reason: The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase reaction is a property of the assembled holoenzyme, not of NDUFV2 in isolation. A single subunit does not independently enable the full reaction, so the enables qualifier over-states NDUFV2's role; contributes_to is the appropriate qualifier (as for the curated IBA/IMP annotations to the same term). Retain the term but with contributes_to.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: InterPro-based (IEA) annotation to the very general parent term oxidoreductase activity. NDUFV2's redox function is captured far more precisely by the child terms NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) activity (GO:0008137) and electron transfer activity (GO:0009055), which are also annotated.
Reason: The term is not wrong (Complex I is an oxidoreductase) but is uninformatively general given that more specific and better-supported MF terms are already present.
GO:1902600 proton transmembrane transport
IEA
GO_REF:0000108
MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: Automatic inference (from the GO:0008137 catalytic activity mapping) that the gene product is involved in proton transmembrane transport. This is a complex-level property arising from the proton-pumping membrane (ND) arm of Complex I, not from NDUFV2, which sits in the soluble N-module of the peripheral arm and coordinates the N1a [2Fe-2S] cluster of the electron-input pathway.
Reason: Proton translocation is performed by the antiporter-like subunits of the membrane arm; attributing it to the N-module electron-input subunit NDUFV2 over-annotates a whole-complex activity onto an individual peripheral-arm subunit.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: IPI evidence (with HSCB/HSC20 co-chaperone, UniProtKB:Q8IWL3) that NDUFV2 binds the HSC20-based Fe-S transfer complex. This is a real and biologically meaningful interaction (Fe-S cluster delivery to Complex I), but the GO term itself is the uninformative bare 'protein binding'.
Reason: Bare protein binding conveys no specific molecular function. The underlying biology (NDUFV2 acquires its [2Fe-2S] cluster via the HSC20 co-chaperone system) is better represented by the Fe-S cluster binding MF (proposed as a NEW annotation) rather than by generic protein binding.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:28380382
The five Fe-S cluster subunits of Complex I also interact with HSC20 to acquire their clusters, highlighting the crucial role of HSC20 in the assembly of the mitochondrial respiratory chain.

Summary: Author-statement (NAS, ComplexPortal) annotation of the Complex I holoenzyme to aerobic respiration. As a core Complex I subunit, NDUFV2 participates in the OXPHOS system that underpins aerobic respiration, though this is a broad complex-level process rather than NDUFV2's specific molecular role.

Summary: Author-statement (NAS, ComplexPortal) annotation to proton motive force-driven ATP synthesis. ATP synthesis is the function of Complex V (ATP synthase); Complex I contributes only indirectly by helping establish the proton-motive force via its membrane arm, and NDUFV2 (an N-module electron-input subunit) is doubly removed from ATP synthesis.
Reason: ATP synthesis is performed by Complex V, not Complex I; attributing it to the peripheral-arm subunit NDUFV2 over-annotates a downstream, whole-OXPHOS-system outcome onto an individual electron-transport subunit.

MODIFY
Summary: Direct assay (IDA) annotation of the specific NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase catalytic activity, based on the cryo-EM structure that established the function, catalytic activity and cofactor of the human enzyme. As a subunit, NDUFV2 contributes to rather than solely enables the holoenzyme activity, but the catalytic molecular function is the defining function of the assembly it belongs to.
Reason: The catalytic activity is a property of the assembled complex, not of NDUFV2 alone; a single subunit does not independently enable the full NADH:ubiquinone reaction. The complex-level MF is best expressed with the contributes_to qualifier (as in the curated IMP annotation from PMID:12754703), rather than enables. Retain the term but with contributes_to.

Summary: IMP annotation to nervous system development, derived from a genetic-association study reporting an NDUFV2 targeting-sequence polymorphism (Ala29Val) as a Parkinson disease susceptibility factor. This is a disease-susceptibility association in a neurodegenerative disorder, not evidence that NDUFV2 has a developmental role in building the nervous system.
Reason: The supporting study is a PD case-control association, not a developmental phenotype; annotating NDUFV2 to nervous system development over-interprets a susceptibility polymorphism. The gene's role in neural tissue is better understood as bioenergetic support via Complex I rather than a developmental function.

NEW
Summary: NDUFV2 binds one [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster (the N1a cluster) via conserved cysteine ligands, a cofactor central to its role in the electron-input pathway of Complex I. UniProt annotates the [2Fe-2S] cofactor with experimental (PubMed:28844695) evidence and four ligand residues from the cryo-EM structures, and the corresponding GO term (GO:0051537) is present in the UniProt GO cross-references (UniProtKB-KW). This specific metal-cofactor MF is not represented in the current GOA TSV and is proposed here as a NEW annotation to capture NDUFV2's redox chemistry more precisely than the generic electron transfer activity term.
Reason: The [2Fe-2S] cluster binding is a well-supported, defining molecular feature of NDUFV2 (2Fe-2S keyword, experimental cofactor annotation, and four structural ligand-binding residues in UniProt) that is missing from the curated GO annotation set and directly underlies its electron-transfer function in the N-module of Complex I.

Core Functions

As a core subunit of the flavoprotein (FP) module of mitochondrial Complex I, NDUFV2 coordinates a [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster (N1a) and contributes to the NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase activity of the holoenzyme, participating in electron transfer from NADH toward ubiquinone.

description: NDUFV2 (NADH dehydrogenase [ubiquinone] flavoprotein 2; also called the
  24 kDa subunit) is a nuclear-encoded core catalytic subunit of the N-module (NADH-oxidising
  module) of mitochondrial respiratory Complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase). Together
  with NDUFV1 (51 kDa, which carries the FMN and NADH-binding site) and NDUFS1 it forms
  the flavoprotein (FP) subcomplex at the tip of the peripheral (matrix) arm. NDUFV2
  coordinates the N1a [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster located near the FMN/NADH site,
  and this cluster is part of the electron-entry pathway by which electrons from NADH
  are relayed into the chain of iron-sulfur clusters that ultimately reduce ubiquinone.
  The protein is imported into mitochondria via a cleaved N-terminal transit peptide
  and is a peripheral protein of the mitochondrial inner membrane on the matrix side.
  Loss-of-function or destabilising variants in NDUFV2 cause mitochondrial complex I
  deficiency (nuclear type 7), presenting as an encephalocardiomyopathy with early-onset
  hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, encephalopathy, and Leigh syndrome; a targeting-sequence
  polymorphism has also been reported as a Parkinson disease susceptibility factor.

    summary: IMP annotation to nervous system development, derived from a genetic-association
      study reporting an NDUFV2 targeting-sequence polymorphism (Ala29Val) as a Parkinson
      disease susceptibility factor. This is a disease-susceptibility association in
      a neurodegenerative disorder, not evidence that NDUFV2 has a developmental role
      in building the nervous system.
    action: MARK_AS_OVER_ANNOTATED
    reason: The supporting study is a PD case-control association, not a developmental
      phenotype; annotating NDUFV2 to nervous system development over-interprets a susceptibility
      polymorphism. The gene's role in neural tissue is better understood as bioenergetic

    action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE

  qualifier: enables
  review:
    summary: NDUFV2 binds one [2Fe-2S] iron-sulfur cluster (the N1a cluster) via conserved
      cysteine ligands, a cofactor central to its role in the electron-input pathway
      of Complex I. UniProt annotates the [2Fe-2S] cofactor with experimental (PubMed:28844695)
      evidence and four ligand residues from the cryo-EM structures, and the corresponding
      GO term (GO:0051537) is present in the UniProt GO cross-references (UniProtKB-KW).
      This specific metal-cofactor MF is not represented in the current GOA TSV and
      is proposed here as a NEW annotation to capture NDUFV2's redox chemistry more
      precisely than the generic electron transfer activity term.
    action: NEW
    reason: The [2Fe-2S] cluster binding is a well-supported, defining molecular feature
      of NDUFV2 (2Fe-2S keyword, experimental cofactor annotation, and four structural
      ligand-binding residues in UniProt) that is missing from the curated GO annotation
      set and directly underlies its electron-transfer function in the N-module of Complex
      I.
