Abstract excerpt
The beta-barrel proteins of mitochondria are synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes. The proteins are imported by the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) and the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM). It has been assumed that the SAM(core) complex with the subunits Sam35, Sam37 and Sam50 represents the last import stage common to all beta-barrel proteins, followed by splitting in a Tom40-specific route and a route...
