Assembly of the dimeric complex III (CIII2) in the mitochondrial inner membrane is an intricate process in which many factors are involved. Despite many studies this process is yet to be completely understood. Here we report the identification of human OCIAD2 (Ovarian Carcinoma Immunoreactive Antigen domain containing protein 2) protein as an assembly factor for CIII2. OCIAD2 was found deregulated in several carcinomas and in some neurodegenerative disorders; however its non-pathological role was not elucidated to date. We have shown that OCIAD2 localizes to mitochondria and interacts with electron transport chain (ETC) proteins. Complete loss of OCIAD2 using gene editing in HEK293 cells resulted in abnormal mitochondrial morphology, decrease assembly of both CIII2 and supercomplex III2+IV and decreased activities of complex I and III. Identification of OCIAD2 as a protein required for assembly of functional CIII2 provides a new insight into the biogenesis and architecture of the ETC. Elucidating the mechanism of OCIAD2 action is important both for the understanding of cellular metabolism and for understanding of its role in the malignant transformation.
