Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae TIM10 complex (TIM10c) is an ATP-independent chaperone of the mitochondrial intermembrane space, involved in transport of polytopic membrane proteins. The complex is an alpha(3)beta(3) hexamer of Tim9 and Tim10 subunits. We have generated specific mutations in charged residues in the central core domain of each subunit delineated by the characteristic twin CX(3)C motif, and...
