Target Information
Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a crucial protein encoded by nuclear genes, but it is transported from the cytoplasm to mitochondria where it plays a key role in the maintenance and expression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA). It regulates the replication and transcription of mtDNA, ensuring the proper functioning of mitochondrial processes. Structurally, TFAM contains a molecular region known as the LC3 interacting region (LIR) motif, which allows it to bind to autophagy proteins such as LC3. This interaction is essential for the autolysosomal pathway, helping to eliminate leaked mtDNA and limit inflammation. TFAM levels vary across tissues, with notable effects on mitochondrial function; high levels can repress mtDNA expression in certain tissues, such as skeletal muscle, and contribute to deficiencies in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Conversely, in other tissues like the heart, increased mtDNA copy number maintains a balanced TFAM-to-mtDNA ratio, preserving OXPHOS capacity. TFAM is integral to the packaging, stability, and replication of the mitochondrial genome, and disruptions in TFAM can have severe effects, including implications in neurodegeneration and other diseases related to mtDNA stress.
