ABSTRACT	In this report we demonstrate that a 42 kDa actin-like protein filament may exist in mung bean seedling mitochondria. The results of a fine structure study, immunogold localization, immunoblot, fluorescent microscopy, and flow cytometric analyses all point to the existence of this actin-like protein inside mung bean mitochondria.
