Background
MARCH5 is a ubiquitin ligase of the mitochondrial outer membrane that plays a role in the control of mitochondrial morphology by regulating mitofusin-2 (MFN2; MIM 608507) and DRP1 (DNM1L; MIM 603850) (Nakamura et al., 2006 [PubMed 16936636]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008],
Function
domain:The RING-CH-type zinc finger domain is required for E3 ligase activity.,function:Mitochondrial E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a crucial role in the control of mitochondrial morphology. Promotes ubiquitination of DRP1. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.,pathway:Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-CH-type zinc finger.,subunit:Interacts with MTFN2 and ubiquitinated forms of DRP1.,
