Chloroplast Preproteins Bind to the Dimer Interface of the Toc159 Receptor during Import.

Plant physiology - 1 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

Most chloroplast proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as higher molecular weight preproteins and imported via the translocons in the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) envelope membranes of chloroplasts. Toc159 functions as a primary receptor and directly binds preproteins through its dimeric GTPase domain. As a first step toward a molecular understanding of how Toc159 mediates preprotein import, we mapped the...
