The proteins in this family are located in the mitochondrion. The family includes ribosomal protein L51, and S25. This family also includes mitochondrial NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase B8 subunit (CI-B8) EC:1.6.5.3. It is not known whether all members of this family form part of the NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase and whether they are also all ribosomal proteins. Structurally related to thioredoxin-fold.
The CDGSH-type zinc finger domain binds iron rather than zinc as a redox-active pH-labile 2Fe-2S cluster. The conserved sequence C-X-C-X2-(S/T)-X3-P-X-C-D-G-(S/A/T)-H is a defining feature of this family [1]. The domain is oriented towards the cytopl ...
The CDGSH-type zinc finger domain binds iron rather than zinc as a redox-active pH-labile 2Fe-2S cluster. The conserved sequence C-X-C-X2-(S/T)-X3-P-X-C-D-G-(S/A/T)-H is a defining feature of this family [1]. The domain is oriented towards the cytoplasm and is tethered to the mitochondrial membrane by a more N-terminal domain found in higher vertebrates, MitoNEET_N, Pfam:PF10660 [2]. The domain forms a uniquely folded homo-dimer and spans the outer mitochondrial membrane, orienting the iron-binding residues towards the cytoplasm [3].

This entry represents a SAM-like domain found in fungal mitoribosome protein mS41. The mitochondrion-specific ribosomal protein mS41 family comprises proteins that are integral components of the mitochondrial ribosome, also known as the mitoribosome. These proteins play a crucial role in the dedicated translation machinery that synthesizes mitochondrial genome-encoded proteins, which include essential transmembrane subunits of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The mitoribosomes are tethered to the mitochondrial inner membrane, ensuring that translation products are cotranslationally integrated into the membrane. Additionally, members of the mS41 family are implicated in the regulation of telomere length, a process essential for maintaining chromosome stability and cellular lifespan. Certain members are also required for survival upon exposure to specific environmental stressors, such as the K1 killer toxin.

Methionine sulfoxide reduction is an important process, by which cells regulate biological processes and cope with oxidative stress. MsrA, a protein involved in the reduction of methionine sulfoxides in proteins, has been known for four decades and has been extensively characterised with respect to structure and function. However, recent studies revealed that MsrA is only specific for methionine-S-sulfoxides. Because oxidised methionines occur in a mixture of R and S isomers in vivo, it was unclear how stereo-specific MsrA could be responsible for the reduction of all protein methionine sulfoxides. It appears that a second methionine sulfoxide reductase, SelR, evolved that is specific for methionine-R-sulfoxides, the activity that is different but complementary to that of MsrA. Thus, these proteins, working together, could reduce both stereoisomers of methionine sulfoxide. This domain is found both in SelR proteins and fused with the peptide methionine sulfoxide reductase enzymatic domain Pfam:PF01625. The domain has two conserved cysteines and histidines. The domain binds both selenium and zinc [2]. The final cysteine is found to be replaced by the rare amino acid selenocysteine in some members of the family [1]. This family has methionine-R-sulfoxide reductase activity [2].

This family contains proteins that have a domain related to the globular C-terminus of Frataxin the protein that is mutated in Friedreich's ataxia. This domain is found in a family of bacterial proteins. The function of this domain is currently unknown. It has been suggested that this family is involved in iron transport.
