  • Title: Mitochondrial protein import: convergent solutions for receptor structure.
    Author: Lister R, Whelan J.
    Journal: Curr Biol; 2006 Mar 21; 16(6):R197-9. PubMed ID: 16546069.
    Abstract:
    Complex machinery has evolved to recognise and import nuclear-encoded proteins into mitochondria. Recent work now shows that the plant Tom20 mitochondrial protein import receptor has a similar tertiary structure to animal Tom20, although the proteins are evolutionarily distinct, representing an elegant example of convergent evolution.
