Abstract

The apoprotein of yeast cytochrome c1 is made outside the mitochondria as a larger precursor which is then processed in at least two steps. In the first step, it is transported across both mitochondrial membranes and converted by a matrix-localized protease to an intermediate form whose molecular weight is between that of the precursor and the mature form. The intermediate form is bound to the outer face of the inner membrane. This first step requires an energized mitochondrial inner membrane, but no heme. In the second step, the intermediate form is converted to the mature cytochrome. This second step requires heme; it is blocked in a heme-deficient mutant or in wild type cells treated with an inhibitor of heme synthesis. Import of cytochrome c1 into mitochondria thus proceeds via two distinct heme-free precursors and at least two maturation steps, one of them dependent on heme.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
