Abstract excerpt
The preprotein translocation at the inner envelope membrane of chloroplasts so far involves five proteins: Tic110, Tic55, Tic40, Tic22 and Tic20. The molecular function of these proteins has not yet been established. Here, we demonstrate that Tic110 constitutes a central part of the preprotein translocation pore. Dependent on the presence of intact Tic110, radiolabelled preprotein specifically interacts with...
