Function | Assembly factor that mediates the formation of some mitochondrial respiratory supercomplexes (respirasomes), thereby promoting oxidative phosphorylation and energy metabolism (PubMed:27545886, PubMed:30428348, PubMed:33727070, PubMed:36198313). Acts as a molecular adapter that associates with both mitochondrial respiratory complexes III (CIII) and IV (CIV), promoting their association (PubMed:27545886, PubMed:36198313). Mediates the formation of various mitochondrial respiratory supercomplexes, such as MCIII(2)IV(2), composed of two CIII and two CIV, and the CS-respirasome (MCI(1)III(2)IV(2)), composed of one CI, two CIII and two CIV (PubMed:27545886, PubMed:30428348). Not involved in the formation of the canonical respirasome (MCI(1)III(2)IV(1)), composed of one CI, two CIII and one CIV (By similarity). The formation of different respirasomes is important for cell adaptation to oxygen conditions and prevent metabolic exhaustion: supercomplexes mediated by COX7A2L/SCAF1 are required to maintain oxidative phosphorylation upon low oxygen conditions and promote metabolic rewiring toward glycolysis (PubMed:36198313). |

Background
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX), the terminal component of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, catalyzes the electron transfer from reduced cytochrome c to oxygen. This component is a heteromeric complex consisting of 3 catalytic subunits encoded by mitochondrial genes and multiple structural subunits encoded by nuclear genes. The mitochondrially-encoded subunits function in electron transfer, and the nuclear-encoded subunits may function in the regulation and assembly of the complex. This nuclear gene encodes a protein similar to polypeptides 1 and 2 of subunit VIIa in the C-terminal region, and also highly similar to the mouse Sig81 protein sequence. This gene is expressed in all tissues, and upregulated in a breast cancer cell line after estrogen treatment. It is possible that this gene represents a regulatory subunit of COX and mediates the higher level of energy production in target cells by estrogen.
