Abstract excerpt
Although Toc159 is known to be one of the key GTPase receptors for selective recognition of chloroplast preproteins, the mechanism for its targeting to the chloroplast surface remains unclear. To compare the targeting of these GTPase receptors, we identified two Toc159 isoforms and a Toc34 from Bienertia sinuspersici, a single-cell C₄ species with dimorphic chloroplasts in individual chlorenchyma cells....
