Characterization of outer mitochondrial membrane proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana
Two-dimensional resolution of outer mitochondrial
membrane proteins from Arabidopsis thaliana by Blue-native / Tricine
SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (Werhahn
et al. 2001, Plant Physiol. 125, 943-954, Werhahn
et al. 2003, Plant Pysiol. Biochem. 41, 407-416). One dominant protein
complex forms part of the outer mitochondrial membrane: "the preprotein
translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane", also called the "TOM
complex". In Arabidopsis the TOM complex consists of 6 subunits
of 34 kDa (TOM40), 23/21 kDa (TOM20), 10 kDa (TOM22 or TOM9), 8 kDa (TOM7),
6.3 kDa (TOM6) and 6.0 kDa (TOM5). There are four different genes encoding
TOM20 in Arabidopsis, two genes encoding TOM40, TOM22 and TOM7 and single-copy
genes encoding TOM6 and TOM5.
