Abstract excerpt
Toc75 is a protein translocation channel in the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts and its presence is essential for the biogenesis of the organelles. Toc75 is the only protein identified so far in the outer membrane of chloroplasts or mitochondria that is synthesized as a larger precursor, preToc75, with a bipartite transit peptide. Its N-terminus targets the protein to the stroma and is removed by the...
