The chloroplast import receptor is an integral membrane protein of chloroplast envelope contact sites
A chloroplast import receptor from pea, previously identified by antiidiotypic antibodies was purified and its primary structure deduced from its cDNA sequence. The protein is a 36-kD integral membrane protein (p36) with eight potential transmembrane segments. Fab prepared from monospecific anti-p36 IgG inhibits the import of the ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase small subunit precursor (pS...
متن کاملCold injury to nerves is not due to ischaemia alone.
The effect of cold on nerve fibre populations may be quite selective. Thus it was possible in the present study, with precise timing of a non-freezing cold nerve injury, to destroy myelinated fibres, but leave unmyelinated fibres intact. The aetiology of this cold-induced selective peripheral nerve pathology remains controversial, but recent evidence suggests that ischaemia plays an important r...
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 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 ...
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...
