Overview of Gene Research
TOMM34, the 34-kDa translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane, is a co-chaperone of Hsp70 and Hsp90. It is part of the cytosolic complex involved in mitochondrial protein import. It has been associated with pathways like oxidative phosphorylation, citric acid cycle, and purine and amino acid metabolism, as well as NOTCH -, MAPK -, and STAT3-signaling [8].
TOMM34 has been found to be highly expressed in many cancers such as colon [1], oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) [2,6], epithelial ovarian cancer [4], urothelial carcinoma of the bladder [5], and early invasive breast cancer [9]. In colon cancer, its high expression correlates with immune cell infiltration and worse prognosis [1]. In OSCC, it promotes cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and modulates mitochondrial function [2]. In COVID-19 and influenza, viral induction of TOMM34 is positively correlated with hyperinflammation, as it recruits TRAF6 to facilitate NF-κB activation [3]. In hepatocellular carcinoma, it is upregulated in response to metformin-induced metabolic stress, interacting with ATP5B to preserve F1FO-ATPase activity and promote tumor metastasis [7].
In conclusion, TOMM34 plays crucial roles in maintaining mitochondrial function, cell proliferation, and immune-related processes. Its overexpression in various cancers and association with poor prognosis highlight its potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target. In severe viral infections, its role in hyperinflammation also makes it an important target for immune intervention strategies.
