Substrate-specific adaptor protein involved in apo-Rli1p maturation; subunit of the Yae1-Lto1 complex, recruiting apo-Rli1p to the CIA targeting complex, facilitating the insertion of an Fe/S cluster by the Fe-S biosynthetic machinery; deca-GX3 motif crucial for complex formation; essential for aerobic but not anaerobic growth; homolog of human YAE1D1, which is overexpressed in oral cancers; co-expression of YAE1D1 and LTO1 homolog ORAOV1 restores growth and Rli1p maturation after YAE1 depletion
