Abstract
A previously uncharacterized yeast protein, YJL066c, was discovered in the membrane fraction although it has no hydrophobic stretch. The protein was p artly solubilized by Triton X-100 in an oligomeric form, while it was insol uble in alkali or salt. By immunofluorescent microscopy, its localization c oincided with the mitochondria. We therefore propose it should be named Mpm 1 (mitochondrial peculiar membrane protein 1).
