Members of the Hsp100/C1p-family of molecular chaperones form regulatory subunits of ATP-dependent C1p proteases and fulfill crucial roles for cellular thermotolerance. We have identified a C1p-like protein in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mcx1p, which shares approximately 30% sequence identity with C1pX-proteins in bacteria, plants and nematodes, Mcx1p localizes to the matrix space of mitochondria and is peripherally associated with the inner membrane. A homologue of E. coli C1pP protease was not identified when screening the yeast genome. We therefore propose that Mcx1p represents a novel molecular chaperone of mitochondria with non-proteolytic function. (C) 1998 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
