MAS20/MAS22 subcomplex
MAS20/MAS22 is 1 of 2 subcomplexes that recognizes proteins targeted to yeast mitochondria. The MAS20/MAS22 complex seems to interact with most or all mitochondrial precursors, possibly through acidic regions which recognize positively charged mitochondrial targetting sequences.
