Proposed model of AstA function in fungi expressing the astA gene. (A). Hypothetical translocation pathway of AstA to the mitochondria under elevated-temperature and surface-growth conditions via Hsp70–Porin system. (B). Hypothetical function of AstA in the mitochondria upon conditions of 37 °C and solid culture growth. (C). Localization of AstA in the cell membrane at low temperature or under liquid-growth conditions.
