Abstract excerpt
YidC/OxaI play essential roles in the insertion of a wide range of membrane proteins in Eschericha coli and mitochondria, respectively. In contrast, the chloroplast thylakoid homolog Albino3 (Alb3) facilitates the insertion of only a specialized subset of proteins, and the vast majority insert into thylakoids by a pathway that is so far unique to chloroplasts. In this study, we have analyzed the role of Alb3 in...
