NUBP1


Description

The NUBP1 (NUBP iron-sulfur cluster assembly factor 1, cytosolic) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

NUBP1 is a component of the cytosolic iron-sulfur (Fe/S) protein assembly (CIA) machinery, essential for the maturation of extramitochondrial Fe-S proteins. NUBP1 forms a heterotetramer with NUBP2, creating a Fe-S scaffold complex that facilitates the de novo assembly of an Fe-S cluster and its transfer to target apoproteins. NUBP1 is also implicated in the regulation of centrosome duplication and acts as a negative regulator of cilium formation and structure.

NUBP1 is also known as CIAO5, NBP, NBP1, NBP35.
