Outline of Final Research Achievements |
β-barrel membrane proteins localised on the mitochondrial outer membrane is essential for transport of small molecules and mitochondrial functions . The SAM complex embeds these β-barrel membrane proteins into the membrane. We determined the cryo-EM structures of the SAM complex and the SAM-Mdm10 supercomplex, and elucidated the substrate exchange mechanism by the SAM complex. This study was published in Nature. Moreover, we have successfully determined the cryo-EM structure of the SAM complex in the process of embedding the substrate protein into the membrane and also clarified a part of the molecular mechanism.
