Protein Domain : Protein import receptor MAS20 IPR002056

Type  Family
Description  Virtually all mitochondrial precursors are imported via the same mechanism []: precursors first bind to receptors on the mitochondrialsurface, then insert into the translocation channel in the outer membrane. Many outer-membrane proteins participate in the early stages of import,four of which (MAS20, MAS22, MAS37 and MAS70) are components of the receptor. MAS20, which forms a subcomplex with MAS22, seems to interact with most orall mitochondrial precursors, suggesting that the protein binds directly to mitochondrial targeting sequences. The MAS37 and MAS70 components alsoform a subcomplex, the two subcomplexes possibly binding via their trans- membrane (TM) regions - the TM region of MAS70 promotes oligomerisationof attatched protein domains and shares sequence similarity with the TM region of MAS20 [].MAS20 is also known as TOM20.
