Switch #:
SWTI000570
Switch type:
Binary
Switch subtype:
Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the mitochondrial localisation signal (MLS) motif of Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2), abrogating binding to Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70 (TOMM70A) and import into mitochondria. The Grx2a isoform Isoform Grx2a of Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2) is localised to the mitochondria whereas the Isoform Grx2b of Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2) is localised to the perinuclear region.

Participants:
(1) Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2)
(2) Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70 (TOMM70A)

Interactions
Interaction #1 GLRX2 - TOMM70A

Interfaces
(1) ELM:TRG_MLS motif (1MIWRRAALAGTRLVWSRSGSA21) in Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2)
(2) Tetratricopeptide repeat (114-578) in Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70 (TOMM70A)

Interaction Regulation
Alternative splicing Abrogation of the Glutaredoxin-2, mitochondrial (GLRX2) TRG_MLS motif - Mitochondrial import receptor subunit TOM70 (TOMM70A) Tetratricopeptide repeat interaction
