tom6 — Neurospora crassa

Summary

NCU05772, symbol tom6, on Neurospora crassa chromosome 7, encodes a TOM core complex subunit Tom6, a component of the mitochondrial outer membrane translocase. The gene is associated with protein import, as annotated by a biological process ontology term. Studies of related genes in other species link the Tom6 family to the mitochondrial protein import machinery, where it is a core subunit of the TOM complex.
