What is the role of chaperones in the folding of proteins in the mitochondrion?
What is the role of chaperones in the folding of proteins in the mitochondrion?
- They transport lipids from the ER to the mitochondrial membrane
- They recognize and transport N-terminal leader sequences
- They cleave off the leader sequence of the protein
- They assist in the folding of the protein (correct)
How are lipids transferred to the mitochondrial membrane?
How are lipids transferred to the mitochondrial membrane?
- Through the translocons in the mitochondrial outer membrane
- By cleaving off the leader sequence of the protein
- Through the movement of lipid transfer proteins (correct)
- By pressure applied perpendicular to the surface of the membrane
