Toc receptor dimerization participates in the initiation of membrane translocation during protein import into chloroplasts.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 6 Nov 2009

Lee Jeonghwa, Wang Fei, Schnell Danny J

Abstract excerpt

The post-translational import of nucleus-encoded preproteins into chloroplasts occurs through multimeric translocons in the outer (Toc) and inner (Tic) membranes. The high fidelity of the protein import process is maintained by specific recognition of the transit peptide of preproteins by the coo...
