Abstract excerpt
Mia40/CHCHD4 and Erv1/ALR are essential for oxidative protein folding in the mitochondrial intermembrane space of yeast and mammals. In contrast, many protists, including important apicomplexan and kinetoplastid parasites, lack Mia40. Furthermore, the Erv homolog of the model parasite Leishmania tarentolae (LtErv) was shown to be incompatible with Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mia40 (ScMia40). Here we addressed...
