Abstract excerpt
The bacterial Sec and signal recognition particle (ffh-dependent) protein translocation mechanisms are conserved between prokaryotes and higher plant chloroplasts. A third translocation mechanism in chloroplasts [the proton concentration difference (DeltapH) pathway] was previously thought to be unique. The hcf106 mutation of maize disrupts the localization of proteins transported through this DeltapH pathway in...
