From the The TIM10 complex is localized in the
mitochondrial intermembrane space and mediates insertion of hydrophobic
proteins at the inner membrane. We have characterized TIM10 assembly
and analyzed the structural properties of its subunits, Tim9 and Tim10.
Both proteins are

-helical with a protease-resistant central domain, and each self-associates to form mainly dimers and trimers in solution.
Tim9 and Tim10 bound to one another with submicromolar affinity in
equimolar amounts and assembled in a stable, significantly extended
complex that was indistinguishable from the native mitochondrial TIM10
complex. Importantly, the reconstituted TIM10 complex is functional
because it bound to the physiological substrate ADP/ATP carrier
and displayed chaperone activity in refolding the model substrate
firefly luciferase. These data demonstrate that the individual subunits
can exist as independent, dynamically self-associating proteins.
Assembly into the thermodynamically stable hexameric complex is
necessary for the TIM10 chaperone function.
