What's a GeneRIF?

The primary function of Tim9 is to protect Tim10 from degradation by Yme1 via assembly into the Tim9-Tim10 complex.
Title: Mitochondrial Tim9 protects Tim10 from degradation by the protease Yme1.
No individual cysteine residue is required for the function of Tim9 or Tim10 in yeast and defective assembly of the small TIMs induces their proteolytic clearance from mitochondria via the mitochondrial ATP-dependent protease, Yme1.
Title: Impaired folding of the mitochondrial small TIM chaperones induces clearance by the i-AAA protease.
A region within the Tim9 and Tim10 precursors, consisting of only nine amino acid residues, functions as a signal for the engagement of substrate proteins with the Mia40 receptor.
Title: Identification of the signal directing Tim9 and Tim10 into the intermembrane space of mitochondria.
zinc is a powerful inhibitor of Erv1, an essential component of the import pathway used by the small Tim9,10 proteins
Title: Zinc can play chaperone-like and inhibitor roles during import of mitochondrial small Tim proteins.
The structure of the yeast Tim9-Tim10 hexameric assembly determined to 2.5 A is reported and mutational analysis was performed to evaluate the specific roles of Tim9 and Tim10.
Title: Structural and functional requirements for activity of the Tim9-Tim10 complex in mitochondrial protein import.
Data show that assembly of the three small Tim proteins, Tim9, -10, and -12, precedes docking to the mitochondrial carrier translocase.
Title: Assembly of the three small Tim proteins precedes docking to the mitochondrial carrier translocase.
Results show that oxidative folding of Tims 9 and 10 is mediated by site-specific docking onto Mia40 in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
Title: Oxidative folding of small Tims is mediated by site-specific docking onto Mia40 in the mitochondrial intermembrane space.
oxidative folding and mitochondrial import are kinetically competitive processes; efficiency of mitochondrial import of the small Tim proteins is controlled, at least partially in vitro, by the rate of oxidative folding
Title: Oxidative folding competes with mitochondrial import of the small Tim proteins.
Assembly of the mitochondrial TIM9-TIM10 complex: a multi-step reaction with novel intermediates.
Title: Assembly of the mitochondrial Tim9-Tim10 complex: a multi-step reaction with novel intermediates.
Mia40 acts as a trans receptor in the biogenesis of the Tim9-Tim10 chaperone complex of mitochondria
