摘要: Bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (which contains three intramolecular disulfide bridges) was chemically coupled to the COOH terminus of a purified artificial mitochondrial precursor protein. When resulting chimeric presented energized isolated yeast mitochondria, its moiety prevented protein from completely entering organelle; remained stuck across both membranes, with NH2 in matrix and still exposed on surface. The incompletely imported appeared "jam" import sites since it blocked authentic proteins; did not collapse potential inner membrane. Quantification inhibition indicated that each particle between 10(2) 10(3) sites.
