Abstract excerpt
atToc33 is a transit peptide receptor of the chloroplast outer envelope membrane, and possesses GTPase activity. In vitro, its transit peptide- and GTP-binding properties are abrogated by its phosphorylation at serine 181, which was proposed to represent an important regulatory mechanism. We mutated S181 to alanine (to prevent phosphorylation), and to aspartate and glutamate (to mimic the effects of...
