Chloroplast protein import: solve the GTPase riddle for entry.
The fidelity of the numerous intracellular protein-trafficking pathways to different organelles is dictated by the interactions between the intrinsic targeting signals of substrate proteins and specific receptors that deliver the substrate to the proper organelle. Recent studies of protein targeting to chloroplasts suggest a novel mechanism in which GTP-dependent substrate recognition is couple...
متن کاملMolecular chaperone involvement in chloroplast protein import.
Chloroplasts are organelles of endosymbiotic origin that perform essential functions in plants. They contain about 3000 different proteins, the vast majority of which are nucleus-encoded, synthesized in precursor form in the cytosol, and transported into the chloroplasts post-translationally. These preproteins are generally imported via envelope complexes termed TOC and TIC (Translocon at the O...
متن کاملReconstitution of a chloroplast protein import channel.
The chloroplastic outer envelope protein OEP75 with a molecular weight of 75 kDa probably forms the central pore of the protein import machinery of the outer chloroplastic membrane. Patch-clamp analysis shows that heterologously expressed, purified and reconstituted OEP75 constitutes a voltage-gated ion channel with a unit conductance of Lambda = 145pS. Activation of the OEP75 channel in vitro ...
متن کاملMolecular chaperones involved in chloroplast protein import.
Transport of cytoplasmically synthesized precursor proteins into chloroplasts, like the protein transport systems of mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum, appears to require the action of molecular chaperones. These molecules are likely to be the sites of the ATP hydrolysis required for precursor proteins to bind to and be translocated across the two membranes of the chloroplast envelope....
متن کاملMechanisms of Chloroplast Protein Import in Plants
F. Kessler Laboratoire de Physiologie Végétale, Université de Neuchâtel, Rue Emile-Argand 11, 2000 Neuchâtel, Switzerland e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Most chloroplast proteins are encoded as preproteins by the nuclear genome. Their import into chloroplasts occurs post-translationally. An N-terminal pre-sequence, the transit peptide, contains the organellar targeting information. It ...
