AscF in the mycobacterial CIII-CIV supercomplex lacks metal and nucleotide binding but links malate oxidation to respiration. [PDF]
FEBS LettThe mycobacterial CIII‐CIV respiratory supercomplex is an obligate assembly, encompassing several subunits of unknown functions. We have characterized the intracellular subunit AscF, and show that it is unlikely to be a sensor for metals or nucleotides, but is required for growth on nonfermentable energy sources, and likely works as an adapter for ...
