Abstract

The majority of mitochondrial proteins are synthesized in the cytosol on free ribosomes in the form of precursors which are subsequently imported into the organelle by a posttranslational transport step (Hay et al., 1984). Depending on the final destination of the protein, either insertion into or translocation across one or two membranes has to occur. During this process the precursor (apoprotein) is converted into the mature holoprotein.
