Mitochondrial presequences harbor variable strengths to maintain organellar function Hundreds of mitochondrial proteins rely on N-terminal presequences for organellar targeting and import. While generally described as positively charged amphiphilic helices, presequences lack a consensus motif and thus likely promote protein import into mitochondria with variable efficiencies. Indeed, the concept of presequence strength underlies biological models such as stress sensing, yet a quantitative analysis of […] Written by Admin January 9, 2026January 9, 2026 Saving Bookmark this article Bookmarked
