| Type: | Family | Name: | Clustered mitochondria protein |
| Description: | This entry includes protein clueless from Drosophila, Clu1 from yeasts and protein CLU from plants. They are involved in proper cytoplasmic distribution of mitochondria [, ].Protein clueless from Drosophila is required for mitochondrial subcellular localisation, interacts genetically with parkin []. It is highly expressed in larval neuroblasts, affects mitochondrial localisation and suppresses mitochondrial oxidative damage [].Budding yeast Clu1 is a subunit of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF3). It can influence mitochondrial morphology and distribution []. Arabidopsis CLU, also known as FRIENDLY (At3g52140), is involved in regulating intermitochondrial association, a prelude to mitochondria fusion [, ]. | Short Name: | CLU |
