Evolution of mitochondrial TAT translocases illustrates the loss of bacterial protein transport machines in mitochondria

Abstract Background Bacteria and mitochondria contain translocases that function to transport proteins across or insert proteins into their inner and outer membranes. Extant mitochondria retain some bacterial-derived translocases but have lost others. While BamA and YidC were integrated into general...
