Rescue of pATOM36‐depleted T. brucei by human MTCH1/2 reveals common features of protein insertases
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Human MTCH1 and MTCH2 (with an N‐terminal extension) functionally complement the loss of pATOM36 in T. brucei, indicating that these evolutionarily distant proteins recognize a common set of substrates and share fundamental principles of mitochondrial outer membrane protein insertion. Structural analyses reveal a common hydrophilic cavity, supporting a
