Proteomics of bovine mitochondrial RNA-binding proteins: HES1/KNP-I is a new mitochondrial resident protein.

2005 
Proteomic analysis of bovine mitochondrial proteins with affinity to polyAdenylate or polyUridylate was performed in an effort to identify novel RNA-binding mitochondrial proteins. We have used 2D gel electrophoresis and MALDI-QqTOF mass spectrometry to identify a total of 64 proteins, of which 51 have defined mitochondrial function including 6 known RNA-binding proteins. HES1/KNP-I from the polyA-binding fraction of mitochondrial Triton extract showed exclusive mitochondrial localization when expressed in GFP-tagged form. The HES1/KNP-I gene is on human chromosome 21q22.3 and may be involved in several disorders mapped to that region. Thus, HES1/KNP-I is a proven mitochondrial resident protein with apparent tight membrane association and tentative RNA-binding properties.
