Abstract excerpt
The insertion of a protein into a lipid bilayer usually involves a short signal sequence and can occur either during or after translation. A light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b-binding protein (LHCP) is synthesized in the cytoplasm of plant cells as a precursor and is post-translationally imported into chloroplasts where it subsequently inserts into the thylakoid membrane. Only mature LHCP is required for insertion...
