title: Mitochondrial biogenesis: sorting mechanisms cooperate in ABC transporter assembly.
abstract: The assembly of proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane had been thought to occur via several distinct pathways. A new study challenges this view and shows that the mitochondrial ABC transporter Mdl1 is assembled into the inner membrane in a modular fashion by two different pieces of machinery.
