Function |
Mitochondrial dehydrogenase that catalyzes the beta-oxidation at position 17 of androgens and estrogens and has 3-alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity with androsterone (PubMed:9553139, PubMed:23042678, PubMed:12917011, PubMed:18996107, PubMed:25925575, PubMed:28888424). Catalyzes the third step in the beta-oxidation of fatty acids (PubMed:9553139, PubMed:12917011, PubMed:18996107, PubMed:25925575, PubMed:28888424). Carries out oxidative conversions of 7-alpha-OH and 7-beta-OH bile acids (PubMed:12917011). Also exhibits 20-beta-OH and 21-OH dehydrogenase activities with C21 steroids (PubMed:12917011). By interacting with intracellular amyloid-beta, it may contribute to the neuronal dysfunction associated with Alzheimer disease (AD) (PubMed:9338779). Essential for structural and functional integrity of mitochondria (PubMed:20077426). .In addition to mitochondrial dehydrogenase activity, moonlights as a component of mitochondrial ribonuclease P, a complex that cleaves tRNA molecules in their 5'-ends (PubMed:18984158, PubMed:24549042, PubMed:25925575, PubMed:26950678, PubMed:28888424). Together with HSD17B10/MRPP2, forms a subcomplex of the mitochondrial ribonuclease P, named MRPP1-MRPP2 subcomplex, which displays functions that are independent of the ribonuclease P activity (PubMed:23042678, PubMed:29040705). The MRPP1-MRPP2 subcomplex catalyzes the formation of N(1)-methylguanine and N(1)-methyladenine at position 9 (m1G9 and m1A9, respectively) in tRNAs; HSD17B10/MRPP2 acting as a non-catalytic subunit (PubMed:23042678, PubMed:25925575, PubMed:28888424). The MRPP1-MRPP2 subcomplex also acts as a tRNA maturation platform: following 5'-end cleavage by the mitochondrial ribonuclease P complex, the MRPP1-MRPP2 subcomplex enhances the efficiency of 3'-processing catalyzed by ELAC2, retains the tRNA product after ELAC2 processing and presents the nascent tRNA to the mitochondrial CCA tRNA nucleotidyltransferase TRNT1 enzyme (PubMed:29040705). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18984158, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23042678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24549042, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25925575, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26950678, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28888424, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29040705}. |
