LYR (leucine-tyrosine-arginine) motif found in Complex1_LYR-like superfamily The Complex1_LYR-like superfamily consists of proteins of diverse functions that are exclusively found in eukaryotes and contain the conserved tripeptide 'LYR' close to the N-terminus. The human genome has at least ten LYR proteins that were predominantly identified as mitochondrial proteins. Some family members were also found in the cytosol or nucleus. LYR motif-containing protein 4 (LYRM4) represents the only LYR protein that is directly involved in the first steps of Fe-S cluster generation. Other LYR proteins have been identified as accessory subunits or assembly factors of mitochondrial OXPHOS (oxidative phosphorylation) complexes I, II, III and V, and they play specific roles in acetate metabolism.
