IPR002908 is a Frataxin/CyaY.
<p>The eukaryotic proteins in this entry include Frataxin, the protein that is mutated in Friedreich's ataxia [[cite:PUB00005550]], and related sequences. Friedreich's ataxia is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss of function mutations in the gene encoding Frataxin (FRDA). Frataxin mRNA is predominantly expressed in tissues with a high metabolic rate (including liver, kidney, brown fat and heart). Mouse and yeast frataxin homologues contain a potential N-terminal mitochondrial targeting sequence, and human Frataxin has been observed to co-localise with a mitochondrial protein. Furthermore, disruption of the yeast gene has been shown to result in mitochondrial dysfunction. Friedreich's ataxia is thus believed to be a mitochondrial disease caused by a mutation in the nuclear genome (specifically, expansion of an intronic GAA triplet repeat) [[cite:PUB00005217], [cite:PUB00004328], [cite:PUB00003904]].</p> <p>The bacterial proteins in this entry are iron-sulphur cluster (FeS) metabolism CyaY proteins homologous to eukaryotic Frataxin. Partial Phylogenetic Profiling [[cite:PUB00034422]] suggests that CyaY most likely functions as part of the ISC system for FeS cluster biosynthesis, and is supported by experimental data in some species [[cite:PUB00042953], [cite:PUB00042954]].</p>
