The Arabidopsis SHORT AND SWOLLEN ROOT1 (SSR1) gene encodes a mitochondrial TPR domain-containing protein and was previously reported to function in maintaining mitochondria function. In a screen for suppressors of the short-root phenotype of the loss-of-function mutant ssr1-2, two mutations, sus1 and sus2 (suppressor of ssr1-2), were isolated. sus1 and sus2 result from G87D and T55M single amino acid substitution in HSCA2 (At5g09590) and ISU1 (At4g22220), both of which are core components in iron-sulfur cluster biosynthesis pathway in mitochondria (ISC). We here demonstrated that SSR1 displayed a strong chaperone-like activity and was able to enhance the binding of HSCA2 to ISU1, an essential step for the normal operation of ISC machinery. Accordingly, the enzymatic activities of several iron-sulfur proteins, the mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP content are reduced in ssr1-2. Interestingly, SSR1 appears to exist only in plant lineages, possibly conferring adaptive advantages on plant ISC machinery to environment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
