High impact information on Tomm22

  • Upon further entry of the preprotein into the translocation pore, the presequence loses its contact with Tom20/Tom22, but remains in firm association with Tom40 [1].
  • It is then transported into the sperm mitochondria by Tom22 and Tom40, where it destroys the sperm mtDNA, establishing the maternal inheritance of mtDNA [2].
 

Other interactions of Tomm22

  • Preproteins bound to the surface-exposed cis site can be cross-linked via their N-terminal presequence to Tom20 and Tom22, demonstrating their direct association with this part of the preprotein [1].
