This mature-size species was exposed to the intermembrane space as it was found to be protease-sensitive after mitoplast formation.
The data imply that the decrease in the intermediate-size form in the matrix is due to a retranslocation into the intermembrane space, with intermediate-size forms representing sorting intermediates on their way to the final subcompartment.

 Two essential proteins of the yeast mitochondrial intermembrane space mediate import of carrier proteins.   (Site not responding. Last check: )
The TIM machinery of the mitochondrial inner membrane is required for the import of mitochondrial proteins across the inner membrane.
Components of this complex are the inner membrane proteins, Tim22p and Tim54p, and intermembrane space proteins, Tim10p and Tim12p; all are essential for viability.
In vitro import of mitochondrial carriers and Tim22p in tim10 and tim12 temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants is defective; import of precursor proteins into the matrix and intermembrane space occurs at wild-type rates, demonstrating the selectivity of this second TIM complex.

When import was performed in the presence of metal chelators to prevent the first processing by the matrix processing peptidase, >40% of the imported precursor was localized in the matrix.
A deletion of 13 amino acids in the intermembrane space sorting sequence caused partial inhibition of the first processing, and a transient accumulation of the precursor form in the matrix was also observed.
The decrease in this matrix-localized precursor form paralleled an increase in the mature-size form in the intermembrane space.

The intermembrane space-targeting sequence (brown) then targets the protein to the inner membrane by binding to a receptor (green) on the matrix side of the inner membrane, after which the protein is translocated across the inner membrane through an associated protein-lined transport channel into the intermembrane space (step 2a).
In the intermembrane space, the targeting sequence is cleaved by a specific protease that is related to the ER signal peptidase, and heme is added, enabling the cytochrome to fold into its mature configuration (step 3a).

  Intermembrane space - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
The intermembrane space is the region between the inner membrane and the outer membrane of a mitochondrion or a chloroplast.
It tends to have a low pH because of the proton gradient which results when protons are pumped from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space during electron transport.
As electrons move down the proteins in the electron transport chain, the electrons lose energy to bring H+ ions from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space.

The space is divided into two regions: the lower region is the inside of the mitochrondrion and the upper space is the intermembrane region.
In electron transport, protons (yellow circles) are pumped into the intermembrane space in several stages (represented by the blue squares) using active transport and, when there is a strong enough proton gradient, they diffuse back into the inside the mitochrondion through ATP synthase (represented by red squares).
Protons in the upper spaces can move into the lower space through the red squares, but only when there are more than 10 more protons in the upper than in the lower space and only when ADP is available.
