Phospholipids as a possible instrument for translocation of nascent proteins across biological membranes

  • Hypothesis
  • Published:
Bioscience Reports

Abstract

The interaction of phospholipids with precursor proteins, particularly with the mitochondrial precursor protein apocytochromec is reviewed and integrated with other aspects of protein insertion and translocation, leading to a model for (apo)cytochrome c import into mitochondria, in which phospholipids play a dominant role.
