Pam17 plays a motor-independent role in protein import. (A and B) The inward driving force of the motor was assessed using 35S-labeled b2(167)Δ-DHFR (A and B) or b2(220)-DHFR (B alone) in the presence of MTX. After an initial import reaction, membrane potential was dissipated with valinomycin. The precursor was chased in a second incubation step for indicated time points before PK was added. The amount of processed intermediate was quantified (100%: amount of processed intermediate without protease treatment). Results are presented as mean ± SEM. n = 3. (C) Schematic representation of F1α, F1β, pF1α-F1β, and pF1β-F1α. For pF1α-F1β, the first 38 aa of F1α were fused to the mature part of F1β (40–end). For pF1β-F1α, the first 45 aa of F1β were fused to the mature part of F1α (36–end). (D and E) 35S-labeled pF1α-F1β and pF1β-F1α were imported into isolated mitochondria from indicated strains as described in Fig. 1. p, precursor; m, mature protein.
