Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial import receptor translocase of the outer membrane of mitochondria (Tom20) consists of five segments, an N-terminal membrane-anchor segment, a linker segment rich in charged amino acids, a tetratricopeptide repeat motif, a glutamine-rich segment, and a C-terminal segment. To asse...
