Proteomic studies revealed that mitochondria contain ∼1,000 (in yeast) to 1,500 (in humans) different proteins and led to the recent identification of new mitochondrial import pathways and ...

There are several mechanisms involved. The newly reported research has uncovered one mechanism, which they found is controlled by the mitochondrial protein MCJ. The researchers first identified ...
