Abstract excerpt

Toc34, a 34-kDa integral membrane protein, is a member of the Toc (translocon at the outer-envelope membrane of chloroplasts) complex, which associates with precursor proteins during protein transport across the chloroplast outer membrane. Here we report the 2.0 A resolution crystal structure of the cytosolic part of pea Toc34 in complex with GDP and Mg2+. In the crystal, Toc34 molecules exist as dimers with...
