Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial proteins require protein machineries called translocators in the outer and inner membranes for import into and sorting to their destination submitochondrial compartments. Among them, the TIM22 complex mediates insertion of polytopic membrane proteins into the inner membrane, and Tim22 constitutes its central insertion channel. Here we report that the conserved Cys residues of Tim22 form an...
