This protein is integrated into the Receptor.AI ecosystem as a prospective target with high therapeutic potential. We performed a comprehensive characterization of DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 30, mitochondrial including:
1. LLM-powered literature research
Our custom-tailored LLM extracted and formalized all relevant information about the protein from a large set of structured and unstructured data sources and stored it in the form of a Knowledge Graph. This comprehensive analysis allowed us to gain insight into DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 30, mitochondrial therapeutic significance, existing small molecule ligands, relevant off-targets, and protein-protein interactions.

2. AI-Driven Conformational Ensemble Generation
Starting from the initial protein structure, we employed advanced AI algorithms to predict alternative functional states of DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 30, mitochondrial, including large-scale conformational changes along "soft" collective coordinates. Through molecular simulations with AI-enhanced sampling and trajectory clustering, we explored the broad conformational space of the protein and identified its representative structures. Utilizing diffusion-based AI models and active learning AutoML, we generated a statistically robust ensemble of equilibrium protein conformations that capture the receptor's full dynamic behavior, providing a robust foundation for accurate structure-based drug design.

3. Binding pockets identification and characterization
We employed the AI-based pocket prediction module to discover orthosteric, allosteric, hidden, and cryptic binding pockets on the protein’s surface. Our technique integrates the LLM-driven literature search and structure-aware ensemble-based pocket detection algorithm that utilizes previously established protein dynamics. Tentative pockets are then subject to AI scoring and ranking with simultaneous detection of false positives. In the final step, the AI model assesses the druggability of each pocket enabling a comprehensive selection of the most promising pockets for further targeting.

Background:
DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 30, mitochondrial, also known as Williams-Beuren syndrome chromosomal region 18 protein, plays a pivotal role in mitochondrial function. It is a mitochondrial protein enriched in neurons, acting as a regulator of mitochondrial respiration. This protein associates with the ATP synthase complex, facilitating ATP synthesis. Additionally, it may serve as a chaperone protein, involved in the turnover of mitochondrial complex I N-module subunits, especially those damaged by oxidative stress, thereby contributing to complex I functional efficiency.
Therapeutic significance:
The protein is linked to an autosomal recessive form of Leber hereditary optic neuropathy, a condition characterized by bilateral painless loss of central vision. Understanding the role of DnaJ homolog subfamily C member 30, mitochondrial, could open doors to potential therapeutic strategies for this mitochondrial disease, highlighting its importance in medical research.
