Plastids semi-autonomous, membrane-bound organelles of plant cells that carry out a large
number of biosynthetic and other functions such as photosynthesis (chloroplasts), ammonia …

This review focuses on a particular type of organelle, the microbody. Since its discovery,
about four decades ago, it has become clear that it is involved in a variety ofmetabolic …

Components of the protein import machinery of the chloroplast were isolated by a procedure
in which the import machinery was engaged in vitro with a tagged import substrate under …

Noppl40 is a nucleolar phosphoprotein of 140 kd that we originally identified and purified as
a nuclear localization signal (NLS)-binding protein. Molecular characterlxation revealed a lO …

Two components of the chloroplast envelope, Tic20 and Tic22, were previously identified as
candidates for components of the general protein import machinery by their ability to …

The post-translational transport of cytoplasmically synthesized precursor proteins into
chloroplasts requires proteins in the envelope membranes. To identify some of these …

The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP86 functions as a receptor in precursor protein
translocation into chloroplasts. Sequence analysis suggests that the precursor of OEP86 is …

We report the molecular cloning of import intermediate associated protein (IAP) 100, a 100-
kDa protein of the chloroplast protein import machinery of peas. IAP100 contains two …

Abstract Development of thylakoid membranes depends upon the transport of membrane
vesicles from the chloroplast inner envelope and subsequent fusion of vesicles within the …

Isolated outer envelope membrane from pea (Pisum sativum L.) chloroplasts can be used in
vitro to study binding and partial translocation of precursor proteins destined for the inside of …
