Non-canonical Transit Peptide for Import into the Chloroplast

Abstract: The large majority of plastid proteins are nuclearencoded and, thus, must be imported within these organelles. Unlike most of the outer envelope proteins, targeting of proteins to all other plastid compartments (inner envelope membrane, stroma, and thylakoid) is strictly dependent on the presence of a cleavable transit sequence in the precursor N-terminal region. In this paper, we describe the identification of a new envelope protein component (ceQORH) and demonstrate that its subcellular localization is limit… Show more

“…Although consistent with recent reports showing the occurrence of N-glycosylated proteins in plastids (Asatsuma et al, 2005;Villarejo et al, 2005), the finding of NPP1 in the interior of a subcellular compartment unrelated to the ER-Golgi system was quite surprising and totally unpredictable in the context of the chloroplast genomics and proteomics (Miras et al, 2002;Leister, 2003). A mechanism of protein traffic from the ER-Golgi to the chloroplast must be invoked that is distinct from the wellestablished pathway of protein traffic between the cytosol and plastids (Heins et al, 1998).…”

“…The AtProTs show no obvious targeting signal directing protein import into mitochondria or chloroplasts (ARAMEMNON database; Schwacke et al, 2003). However, targeting to organelles could not be excluded because not all inner envelope proteins depend on a cleavable chloroplast transit peptide (Miras et al, 2002).…”

“…Thylakoids were prepared and separated from the envelope by sucrose density gradient centrifugation as described previously (Perron et al, 1999). Alb3.2 colocalizes with D1 and PsaA in the thylakoid membrane ( Figure 1C, fraction 13) and is absent from envelope fractions that were identified using an antibody against ceQORH, a quinone oxidoreductase homolog that is known to be localized in the inner membrane of the chloroplast envelope ( Figure 1C, fractions 5 to 9) (Miras et al, 2002). Stacked and unstacked thylakoids were not separated on this gradient, as seen by the cofractionation of the PSII protein D1 and the PSI protein PsaA.…”
