title: Protein import into mitochondria: a paradigm for the translocation of polypeptides across membranes.
abstract: The translocation of proteins across membranes usually requires specific transport systems composed of membrane-bound and soluble components. A combination of biochemical and genetic approaches has led to the identification and preliminary characterization of some of these components.
