Abstract excerpt
Preproteins synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes, but destined for the mitochondrial matrix, pass through the presequence translocase of the inner membrane. Translocation is driven by the import motor, having at its core the essential chaperone mtHsp70 (Ssc1 in yeast). MtHsp70 is tethered to the translocon channel at the matrix side of the inner membrane by the peripheral membrane protein Tim44. A key question in...
