The major protein import receptor of plastids is essential for chloroplast biogenesis.

Nature - 13 Jan 2000

Bauer J, Chen K, Hiltbunner A, Wehrli E, Eugster M, Schnell D, Kessler F

Abstract excerpt

Light triggers the developmental programme in plants that leads to the production of photosynthetically active chloroplasts from non-photosynthetic proplastids. During this chloroplast biogenesis, the photosynthetic apparatus is rapidly assembled, mostly from nuclear-encoded imported proteins, which are synthesized in the cytosol as precursors with cleavable amino-terminal targeting sequences called transit...
