Putting energy into mitochondrial protein import

E M Beasley et al. Curr Opin Cell Biol. 1992 Aug.

Abstract

The import of proteins into mitochondria occurs in several steps. At least three of these steps require ATP and involve molecular chaperones. This energy requirement has served as a useful tool for elucidating the import pathways into the four mitochondrial compartments.
