MTCH2 is a mitochondrial outer membrane protein insertase

Abstract: In the mitochondrial outer membrane, tail-anchored (TA) proteins play critical roles in cytoplasmic-mitochondrial communication. Using genome-wide CRISPRi screens, we identify factors involved in mitochondrial TA biogenesis in human cells. We show that MTCH2, and its paralog MTCH1, are required for insertion of biophysically diverse mitochondrial TAs, but not outer membrane b-barrel proteins. In a reconstituted system, purified MTCH2 is sufficient to mediate insertion into proteoliposomes. Functional and mutat… Show more

“…Intriguingly, there are hints that depletion of yeast MIM or mammalian MTCH2 may drive MAD pathways. Loss of these proteins does result in depletion in the level of at least some of their substrates (7,8), reminiscent of the proteasomal degradation of pATOM36 substrates by the MAD pathway described here.…”

“…The biogenesis of many α-helically membrane-anchored mitochondrial OM proteins is mediated by distinct protein factors in yeast (MIM complex), humans (MTCH2) and trypanosomes (pATOM36) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)8). Moreover, for the MIM complex and pATOM36, reciprocal complementation experiments demonstrate that they are functionally interchangeable (7).…”
