Metalloendopeptidase OMA1, mitochondrial is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the OMA1 gene.[3][4] As a Metalloprotease, this protein is a substantial component of the quality control system in the inner membrane of mitochondria. Being activated by enzyme Bax and Bak, mitochondrial protease OMA1 promotes cytochrome c release which subsequently induces apoptosis.[5]

Structure

Gene

The gene OMA1 encodes a metalloprotease, a founding member of a conserved family of membrane-embedded metallopeptidases in mitochondria. The human gene has 9 exons and locates at chromosome band 1p32.2-p32.1

Protein

The human protein Metalloendopetidase OMA1, mitochondrial is 60 kDa in size and composed of 524 amino acids. The peptide fragment 1-13 is mitochondrial transition peptide, the mature protein has a theoretical PI of 9.35.[6]

Function

The inner membrane of mitochondrial houses two AAA proteases and these membrane-embedded peptidases were termed m- and i-AAA proteases to indicate their different topology in the inner membrane. The m-AAA protease is facing the matrix and the i-AAA protease is facing the intermembrane space. OMA1 was shown to share an overlapping proteolytic activity with m-AAA protease. However, OMA1 doesn't completely regulate the turnover of a model substrate, Oxa1, as what the m-AAA protease does. On the contrary, Oma1 only generates N- and C-terminal proteolytic fragments.[4] Recent study showed that the mammalian mitochondrial inner membrane fusion protein OPA1 can be degraded by OMA1 when mitochondria lose membrane potential or adenosine triphosphate. Such inducible proteolysis acts as a regulatory mechanism to proteolytically inactivate of OPA1, thus preventing the fusion of the mitochondrial network.[7][8][9]
