AFG3L2 (m-AAA+) is a hexameric zinc metalloprotease that is anchored in the mitochondrial inner membrane and protrudes into the mitochondrial matrix (Koppen et al. 2007, Puchades et al. 2019). AFG3L2 is able to assemble as homohexamers or as heterohexamers with its paralog SPG7 (Paraplegin) (Atorino et al. 2003). Each AFG3L2 subunit has a membrane-proximal ATPase domain that unfolds proteins and a membrane-distal protease domain (Puchades et al. 2019). The substrate protein threads through the ATPase spiral of the AFG3L2 hexamer (Puchades et al. 2019) and is processively translocated and degraded in an ATP-dependent manner. AFG3L2 preferentially cleaves peptide bonds on the N-terminal side of hydrophobic residues (Ding et al. 2018). AFG3L2 degrades specific mitochondrial matrix proteins, including ATP5F1A (ATP5A1) (Cesnekova et al. 2018), steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (STAR) (Bahat et al. 2014), and the ribosomal subunit MRPL32 (Koppen et al. 2007, Ding et al. 2018).
