Members of the Toc159 import receptor family represent distinct pathways for protein targeting to plastids.

Molecular biology of the cell - 1 Jul 2004

Abstract excerpt

Plastids represent a diverse group of organelles that perform essential metabolic and signaling functions within all plant cells. The differentiation of specific plastid types relies on the import of selective sets of proteins from among the approximately 2500 nucleus-encoded plastid proteins. The Toc159 family of GTPases mediates the initial targeting of proteins to plastids. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Toc159...
