Abstract excerpt
An Arabidopsis oleosin was used as a model to study oleosin topology and targeting to oil bodies. Oleosin mRNA was in vitro translated with canine microsomes in a range of truncated forms. This allowed proteinase K mapping of the membrane topology. Oleosin maintains a conformation with a membrane-integrated hydrophobic domain flanked by N- and C-terminal domains located on the outer microsome surface. This is a...
