Abstract excerpt
The Tat pathway is a major route for protein export in prokaryotes and for protein targeting to thylakoids in chloroplasts. Based on in vitro studies, protein translocation through this pathway is thought to be strictly dependent on a transmembrane delta pH. In this paper, we assess the delta pH sensitivity of the Tat pathway in vivo. Using Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, we observed changes in the efficiency of...
