A Split-Ubiquitin Yeast Two-Hybrid Screen to Examine the Substrate Specificity of atToc159 and atToc132, Two Arabidopsis Chloroplast Preprotein Import Receptors
Post-translational import of nucleus-encoded chloroplast pre-proteins is critical for chloroplast biogenesis, and the Toc159 family of proteins serve as receptors for the process. Toc159 shares with other members of the family (e.g. Toc132), homologous GTPase (G-) and Membrane (M-) domains, but a highly dissimilar N-terminal acidic (A-) domain. Although there is good evidence that atToc159 and ...
متن کاملThe Mechanism of Protein Import into Chloroplasts and Its Role in Plastid Development
Chloroplasts represent one member of a diverse group of essential organelles referred to collectively as the plastids. All plastid types develop from a precursor organelle, the proplastid, in response to the particular metabolic demands of the differentiated cell type in which they function. Plastid differentiation relies on the expression and import of select classes of nuclear-encoded preprot...
متن کاملFunctional specialization amongst the Arabidopsis Toc159 family of chloroplast protein import receptors.
The initial stages of preprotein import into chloroplasts are mediated by the receptor GTPase Toc159. In Arabidopsis thaliana, Toc159 is encoded by a small gene family: atTOC159, atTOC132, atTOC120, and atTOC90. Phylogenetic analysis suggested that at least two distinct Toc159 subtypes, characterized by atToc159 and atToc132/atToc120, exist in plants. atTOC159 was strongly expressed in young, p...
متن کاملRole of the AtClC genes in regulation of root elongation in Arabidopsis
The protein family of anion channel (ClC) constitute a family of transmembrane trnsporters that either function as anion channel or as H+/anion exchanger. The expression of three genes of AtClCa, AtClCb and AtClCd in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana were silenced by a T-DNA insertion . When the pH of the medium was slightly acidic the length of the primary root of plants with a disrupted At...
متن کاملDimerization of Toc-GTPases at the chloroplast protein import machinery.
Import of chloroplast precursor proteins is controlled by the coordinate action of two homologous GTPases, Toc159 and Toc33, located at the cytosol-outer membrane interface. Recent studies in Arabidopsis showed that the cytosolic form of the precursor binding protein Toc159 is targeted to its receptor at the import machinery, Toc33, via heterodimerization of their GTP-binding domains. Toc33 may...
