Ydj1 governs fungal morphogenesis and stress response, and facilitates mitochondrial protein import via Mas1 and Mas2

Ydj1 governs fungal morphogenesis and stress response, and facilitates mitochondrial protein import via Mas1 and Mas2 – INTRODUCTION Mitochondria are essential eukaryotic organelles important for metabolism, bioenergetics, signalling, apoptosis and developmental processes . As a consequence, maintenance of mitochondrial activity by preserving protein localization and function is key to survival. Most mitochondrial proteins are synthesised with signal presequences in the cytosol nd translocated in an unfolded state through the mitochondrial membranes with the (...)
