HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1) is a multifunctional protein involved in many cellular processes, including apoptosis, cell migration and calcium homeostasis, but its mode of action still remains obscure. Multiple HAX1 protein partners have been identified, but they are involved in many distinct pathways, form different complexes and do not constitute a coherent group. By characterizing HAX1 protein interactome using targeted approach, we attempt to explain HAX1 multiple functions and its role in the cell. Presented analyses indicate that HAX1 interacts weakly with a wide spectrum of proteins and its interactome tends to be cell-specific, which conforms to a profile of intrinsically disordered protein (IDP). Moreover, we have identified a mitochondrial subset of HAX1 protein partners and preliminarily characterized its involvement in the cellular response to oxidative stress and aggregation.

Article Synopsis
- Loss-of-function mutations in the CLPB gene result in congenital neutropenia, impairing the differentiation of neutrophil precursor cells, though the underlying mechanism is unclear.
- In experiments using IL-3-dependent mouse myeloblastic 32Dcl3 cells, researchers found that CLPB knockout led to decreased mitochondrial membrane potential and increased HAX1 aggregates, but did not affect cell proliferation under IL-3.
- The increased apoptosis of CLPB-deficient cells after IL-3 withdrawal was linked to reactive oxygen species (ROS), with citrate supplementation showing potential to protect these cells by enhancing ROS detoxification through ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY) activity.

The mitochondrial disulphide relay machinery is essential for the import and oxidative folding of many proteins in the mitochondrial intermembrane space. Its core component, the import receptor MIA40 (also CHCHD4), serves as an oxidoreductase but also as a chaperone holdase, which initially interacts with its substrates non-covalently before introducing disulphide bonds for folding and retaining proteins in the intermembrane space. Interactome studies have identified diverse substrates of MIA40, among them the intrinsically disordered HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1).

HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1) is a newly discovered multifunctional cell regulatory protein that is widely expressed in cells and has a close relationship with multiple cellular proteins. HAX1 plays important roles in various processes, including the regulation of apoptosis, maintenance of mitochondrial membrane potential stability and calcium homeostasis, occurrence and development of diseases, post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression, and host immune response after viral infection. In this article, we have reviewed the research progress on the biological functions of HAX1, thereby laying a theoretical foundation for further exploration of its underlying mechanisms and targeted application.

Acute cerebral ischemia has a high rate of disability and death. Although timely recanalization therapy may rescue the ischemic brain tissue, cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury has been shown to limit the therapeutic effects of vascular recanalization. Protein HAX-1 has been reported as a pro-survival protein that plays an important role in various disorders, particularly in association with the nervous system.

Energy stress, characterized by the reduction of intracellular ATP, has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer. Here, we show that energy stress promotes the formation of P-bodies in a ubiquitin-dependent manner. Upon ATP depletion, the E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIM23 catalyzes lysine-63 (K63)-linked polyubiquitination of HCLS1-associated protein X-1 (HAX1).
