Multiple pathways for sorting mitochondrial precursor proteins

Abstract: Mitochondria import hundreds of different precursor proteins from the cytosol. More than 50% of mitochondrial proteins do not use the classical import pathway that is guided by amino-terminal presequences, but instead contain different types of internal targeting signals. Recent studies have revealed an unexpected complexity of the mitochondrial protein import machinery and have led to the discovery of new transport pathways. Here, we review the versatility of mitochondrial protein import and its connection to… Show more

“…However, TDP1 has similar size both in the nuclear and mitochondrial fractions ( Fig. 2A) and does not contain a MTS sequence (10,60). This implies that TDP1, like many other proteins and transcription factors such as APE1, FEN1, NF-kB, p53, and BRCA1 (23) that act both in the nucleus and mitochondria, enter mitochondria despite their lack of canonical mitochondria targeting sequences, indicating the existence of still unknown mechanisms of intracellular trafficking (13,14,28,61,62).…”

“…The classic mitochondrial targeting sequence is an N-terminal motif that forms an amphipathic helix with a high proportion of positively charged basic residues (20,21). Secondary structure prediction and helical wheel representation suggest that the region of TRIM14 from amino acids 29-46 may form such an amphipathic α-helix (Fig.…”

“…Hsp90 may facilitate translocation in addition to targeting (Young et al, 2003a;Fan et al, 2006). The Tom70 receptor recognizes preproteins with internal targeting sequences, including multiple targeting signals throughout a polypeptide sequence (Wiedemann et al, 2001;Neuport and Herrmann, 2007;Bolender et al, 2008).…”
