Abstract: | Here, we report the identification of yeast 15-kD Tim15/Zim17, a new member of mitochondrial Hsp70 (mtHsp70)-associated motor and chaperone (MMC) proteins. The 15-kD MMC protein is a peripheral inner membrane protein with a zinc-finger motif. Depletion of the 15-kD protein led to impaired import of presequence-containing proteins into the matrix in vivo and in vitro. Overexpression of the 15-kD protein rescued the functional defects of mtHsp70 in ssc1-3 cells, and a fusion protein containing the 15-kD protein physically interacts with purified mtHsp70. Tim15/Zim17 therefore cooperates with mtHsp70 to facilitate import of presequence-containing proteins into the matrix. |
