**Background of Human Recombinant TEFM Protein**
The human Transcription Elongation Factor of Mitochondria (TEFM) is a nuclear-encoded protein critical for mitochondrial gene expression. It localizes to mitochondria and plays a dual role in regulating transcription elongation and RNA processing within the mitochondrial genome (mtDNA). TEFM binds to mitochondrial RNA polymerase (POLRMT) and facilitates transcription elongation by preventing premature termination, particularly during synthesis of the heavy-strand polycistronic transcript encoding essential subunits of the electron transport chain. Structurally, TEFM contains a C-terminal RNase H-like domain and an N-terminal mitochondrial transit peptide, which mediate its interactions with POLRMT and mtDNA.
Additionally, TEFM coordinates transcription with replication by stabilizing the transcription machinery, ensuring efficient RNA synthesis and processing. Studies suggest that TEFM balances RNA primer formation for mtDNA replication with the production of functional mRNAs, rRNAs, and tRNAs. Dysregulation of TEFM is linked to mitochondrial dysfunction, impacting cellular energy metabolism and contributing to diseases such as neurodegenerative disorders and cardiomyopathies. Recombinant TEFM protein is widely used in biochemical studies to dissect mitochondrial transcription mechanisms and explore therapeutic strategies targeting mitochondrial disorders. Its conserved role across species underscores its fundamental importance in mitochondrial biology.
