Abstract excerpt
The processing enhancing protein of mitochondria (PEP) is an essential component that has been shown to participate in proteolytic removal of NH2-terminal signal peptides from precursor proteins imported into the mitochondrial matrix. Using a yeast strain bearing a PEP mutation that renders it temperature-sensitive, an approach of genetic suppression was taken in order to identify additional components that could...
