摘要: Tim9p is located in the soluble 70-kDa Tim9p–Tim10p complex and 300-kDa membrane mitochondrial TIM22 protein import system, which mediates of inner proteins. From a collection temperature-sensitive mutants, we have analyzed two detail. tim9–3 contained mutations tim9–19 one mutation, all near ‘twin CX3C’ motif that conserved small Tim As result, components mutant mitochondria were severely reduced assembled into complexes aberrant sizes. Protein was Tim10p binding to vitro imported ADP/ATP carrier impaired. In mitochondria, assembled, although not detectable. decreased only two-fold. When coexpressed Escherichia coli, TIM10 proteins failed assemble complex. Our findings suggest residues are important for assembly both
