Title: Mechanism of protein import into mitochondria.
Abstract: Mitochondria import nearly all of their proteins from the cytosol. My lab studies molecular mechanisms of two mitochondrial membrane-bound complexes, TOM and TIM23, which together mediate import of the majority of mitochondrial protein. In this seminar, I will discuss our recent findings on mechanisms underlying signal sequence recognition and protein translocation by TIM23.
