Mitochondria import more than 99% of their proteins that are produced as precursors on cytosolic ribosomes. The translocase of the outer membrane (TOM complex) forms the entry gate for almost all mitochondrial precurcor proteins. Subsequently, dedicated protein translocases sort the proteins into the mitochondrial subcompartment. We investigate control that monitor and adapt protein transport into mitochondria to meet cellular requirements.
