Abstract

- The TIM23 complex mediates membrane insertion of presequence-containing mitochondrial proteins via a stop-transfer mechanism. Stop-transfer signals consist of hydrophobic transmembrane segments and flanking charges. Mgr2 functions as a lateral gatekeeper of the TIM23 complex. However, it remains elusive which features of stop-transfer signals are discriminated by Mgr2. To determine the effects of Mgr2 on the TIM23-mediated stop-transfer pathway, we measured membrane insertion of model transmembrane segments of varied hydrophobicity and flanking charges in Mgr2-deletion or -overexpression yeast strains. We found that upon deletion of Mgr2, the threshold hydrophobicity for membrane insertion, as well as the requirement for matrix-facing positive charges, is reduced. These results imply that the Mgr2-mediated gatekeeper function is important for controlling membrane sorting of marginal stop-transfer signals.
