Tip loci: six Chlamydomonas nuclear suppressors that permit the translocation of proteins with mutant thylakoid signal sequences.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations within the signal sequence of cytochrome f (cytf) in Chlamydomonas inhibit thylakoid membrane protein translocation and render cells nonphotosynthetic. Twenty-seven suppressors of the mutant signal sequences were selected for their ability to restore photoautotrophic growth and these de...
