Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine desulfurase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in [4Fe-4S] cluster assembly and iron incorporation into metallo-sulfur cluster. Located in mitochondrial matrix and nucleus. Part of mitochondrial [2Fe-2S] assembly complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 52. Orthologous to human NFS1 (NFS1 cysteine desulfurase).

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

NFS1 maintains the iron sulfur clusters in proteins that are essential for protecting them from oxidative damage; inactivating NFS1 or iron sulfur clusters can trigger ferroptosis, a non-apoptotic form of cell death, in cancer cells
Title: NFS1 undergoes positive selection in lung tumours and protects cells from ferroptosis.
While IFN-gamma alone induced Nfs1 protein instability, LPS triggered a delayed decline of Nfs1, rather involving transcriptional events or mRNA instability.
Title: Regulation of the cysteine desulfurase Nfs1 and the scaffold protein IscU in macrophages stimulated with interferon-gamma and lipopolysaccharide.
there is a mechanism that primarily dedicates m-Nfs1 to the biogenesis of mitochondrial Fe-S clusters in order to maintain cell survival
Title: RNA silencing of mitochondrial m-Nfs1 reduces Fe-S enzyme activity both in mitochondria and cytosol of mammalian cells.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
