ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a flavoprotein essential for nuclear disassembly in apoptotic cells, and it is found in the mitochondrial intermembrane space in healthy cells. Induction of apoptosis results in the translocation of this protein to the nucleus where it affects chromosome condensation and fragmentation. In addition, this gene product induces mitochondria to release the apoptogenic proteins cytochrome c and caspase-9. Mutations in this gene cause combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 6, which results in a severe mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 10. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
uniprot summary :
PDCD8: Probable oxidoreductase that has a dual role in controlling cellular life and death; during apoptosis, it is translocated from the mitochondria to the nucleus to function as a proapoptotic factor in a caspase-independent pathway, while in normal mitochondria, it functions as an antiapoptotic factor via its oxidoreductase activity. The soluble form (AIFsol) found in the nucleus induces parthanatos i.e., caspase-independent fragmentation of chromosomal DNA. Interacts with EIF3G,and thereby inhibits the EIF3 machinery and protein synthesis, and activates casapse-7 to amplify apoptosis. Plays a critical role in caspase- independent, pyknotic cell death in hydrogen peroxide-exposed cells. Binds to DNA in a sequence-independent manner. Interacts with XIAP/BIRC4. Interacts (via N-terminus) with EIF3G (via C-terminus). Belongs to the FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Apoptosis; EC 1.-.-.-; Oxidoreductase; Mitochondrial. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq26.1. Cellular Component: mitochondrion; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; mitochondrial inner membrane; mitochondrial intermembrane space; cytosol; nucleus. Molecular Function: protein dimerization activity; protein binding; oxidoreductase activity, acting on NADH or NADPH; electron carrier activity; DNA binding; NAD(P)H oxidase activity. Biological Process: caspase activation; chromosome condensation; neuron differentiation; mitochondrial respiratory chain complex I assembly; neuron apoptosis; positive regulation of apoptosis; apoptosis; cell redox homeostasis; DNA fragmentation during apoptosis; DNA catabolic process. Disease: Cowchock Syndrome
