Abstract:
The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the 5' portion of the gene encoding the Plasmodium yoelii yoelii (Pyy) 17XL merozite surface protein-1 (MSP-1) was determined by direct sequencing of both strands of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product. This report completes the entire coding region of the Pyy 17XL MSP-1 gene which we have found to be identical to the nt sequence of the Pyy YM MSP-1 [Lewis, Mol. Biochem. Parasitol. 36 (1989) 271-282], despite independent selection of parasite clones, passages and replications in mice over many years.

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
