DNA polymerase subunit gamma-2, mitochondrial; Mitochondrial polymerase processivity subunit. Stimulates the polymerase and exonuclease activities, and increases the processivity of the enzyme. Binds to ss-DNA (485 aa)

Transcription termination factor 1, mitochondrial; Transcription termination factor. Binds to a 28 bp region within the tRNA(Leu(uur)) gene at a position immediately adjacent to and downstream of the 16S rRNA gene; this region comprises a tridecamer sequence critical for directing accurate termination. Binds DNA along the major grove and promotes DNA bending and partial unwinding. Promotes base flipping. Transcription termination activity appears to be polarized with highest specificity for transcripts initiated on the light strand; Belongs to the mTERF family (399 aa)

Twinkle protein, mitochondrial; Involved in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) metabolism. Could function as an adenine nucleotide-dependent DNA helicase. Function inferred to be critical for lifetime maintenance of mtDNA integrity. In vitro, forms in combination with POLG, a processive replication machinery, which can use double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) as template to synthesize single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) molecules. May be a key regulator of mtDNA copy number in mammals (684 aa)

DNA replication ATP-dependent helicase/nuclease DNA2; Key enzyme involved in DNA replication and DNA repair in nucleus and mitochondrion. Involved in Okazaki fragments processing by cleaving long flaps that escape FEN1- flaps that are longer than 27 nucleotides are coated by replication protein A complex (RPA), leading to recruit DNA2 which cleaves the flap until it is too short to bind RPA and becomes a substrate for FEN1. Also involved in 5’-end resection of DNA during double- strand break (DSB) repair- recruited by BLM and mediates the cleavage of 5’-ssDNA, while the 3’-ssDNA cleava [...] (1060 aa)

Translational activator of cytochrome c oxidase 1; Acts as a translational activator of mitochondrially- encoded cytochrome c oxidase 1; Belongs to the TACO1 family (297 aa)

Ribonuclease H1; Endonuclease that specifically degrades the RNA of RNA- DNA hybrids. Plays a role in RNA polymerase II (RNAp II) transcription termination by degrading R-loop RNA-DNA hybrid formation at G-rich pause sites located downstream of the poly(A) site and behind the elongating RNAp II; Belongs to the RNase H family (286 aa)

Methylglutaconyl-CoA hydratase, mitochondrial; Catalyzes the conversion of 3-methylglutaconyl-CoA to 3- hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA. Also has itaconyl-CoA hydratase activity by converting itaconyl-CoA into citramalyl-CoA in the C5- dicarboxylate catabolism pathway. The C5- dicarboxylate catabolism pathway is required to detoxify itaconate, a vitamin B12-poisoning metabolite. Has very low enoyl-CoA hydratase activity. Was originally identified as RNA-binding protein that binds in vitro to clustered 5’-AUUUA-3’ motifs (339 aa)

Probable ATP-dependent RNA helicase DDX28; Plays an essential role in facilitating the proper assembly of the mitochondrial large ribosomal subunit and its helicase activity is essential for this function. May be involved in RNA processing or transport. Has RNA and Mg(2+)-dependent ATPase activity; DEAD-box helicases (540 aa)
