The Oxa1 Protein Forms a Homooligomeric Complex and Is an Essential Part of the Mitochondrial Export Translocase in Neurospora crassa
1 Apr 2002
Abstract excerpt
The Oxa1 protein is a ubiquitous constituent of the inner membrane of mitochondria. Oxa1 was identified in yeast as a crucial component of the protein export machinery known as the OXA translocase, which facilitates the integration of proteins from the mitochondrial matrix into the inner membrane. We have identified the Neurospora crassa Oxa1 protein which shows a sequence identity of 22% to the yeast homologue....
