Mutations in a signal sequence for the thylakoid membrane identify multiple protein transport pathways and nuclear suppressors.

Abstract excerpt

The apparatus that permits protein translocation across the internal thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts is completely unknown, even though these membranes have been the subject of extensive biochemical analysis. We have used a genetic approach to characterize the translocation of Chlamydomonas cytochrome f, a chloroplast-encoded protein that spans the thylakoid once. Mutations in the hydrophobic core of the...
