How membrane proteins travel across the mitochondrial intermembrane space

C M Koehler et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 1999 Nov.

Abstract

A newly discovered family of small proteins in the yeast mitochondrial intermembrane space mediates import of hydrophobic proteins from the cytoplasm into the inner membrane. Loss of one of these chaperone-like proteins from human mitochondria results in a disease that causes deafness, muscle weakness and blindness.
