Human Gene SUCLG1 (ENST00000393868.7) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens succinate-CoA ligase GDP/ADP-forming subunit alpha (SUCLG1), mRNA; nuclear gene for mitochondrial product. (from RefSeq NM_003849)
RefSeq Summary (NM_003849): This gene encodes the alpha subunit of the heterodimeric enzyme succinate coenzyme A ligase. This enzyme is targeted to the mitochondria and catalyzes the conversion of succinyl CoA and ADP or GDP to succinate and ATP or GTP. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the metabolic disorder fatal infantile lactic acidosis and mitochondrial DNA depletion. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010].

  ID: SUCA_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Succinyl-CoA ligase [ADP/GDP-forming] subunit alpha, mitochondrial; EC=6.2.1.4; EC=6.2.1.5; AltName: Full=Succinyl-CoA synthetase subunit alpha; Short=SCS-alpha; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Catalyzes the ATP- or GTP-dependent ligation of succinate and CoA to form succinyl-CoA. The nature of the beta subunit determines the nucleotide specificity (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: GTP + succinate + CoA = GDP + phosphate + succinyl-CoA.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: ATP + succinate + CoA = ADP + phosphate + succinyl-CoA.
PATHWAY: Carbohydrate metabolism; tricarboxylic acid cycle.
SUBUNIT: Heterodimer of an alpha and a beta subunit.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Mitochondrion.
DISEASE: Defects in SUCLG1 are the cause of mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 9 (MTDPS9) [MIM:245400]. A severe disorder due to mitochondrial dysfunction. It is characterized by infantile onset of hypotonia, lactic acidosis, severe psychomotor retardation, progressive neurologic deterioration, and excretion of methylmalonic acid.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the succinate/malate CoA ligase alpha subunit family.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAD17940.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=AAH00504.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Sequence=CAA92426.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
