Yeast porin, the major outer mitochondrial membrane protein, is synthesized without a cleavable extension peptide and post-translationally inserted into the membrane. When inserted into the membrane, it acquires resistance to externally added trypsin. To locate the sequences responsible for membrane insertion and topogenesis in the primary structure of yeast porin, we constructed several deletion and chimeric mutants of the porin cDNA. These cDNAs were expressed in vitro and the products were assayed for capacity to be correctly inserted into isolated mitochondria. It was thus found that deletion of the segment spanning residues 37-98 did not appreciably impair the insertion competence and the inserted protein became resistant to trypsin. On the other hand, the porin mutant lacking the segment consisting of residues 17-98 did not acquire the trypsin resistance, though it could bind to mitochondria specifically. Deletion of the carboxy-terminal 62 amino acid residues also abolished the capacity to be correctly inserted into mitochondria. We conclude that information required for membrane insertion and intramembranous topogenesis of the porin molecule is stored not only in the amino-terminal region but also in the carboxy-terminal portion.
