Targeting of nucleus‐encoded proteins to chloroplasts in plants
P Jarvis - New phytologist, 2008 - Wiley Online Library
Most chloroplast proteins are encoded in the nucleus and synthesized on free, cytosolic
ribosomes in precursor form. Each precursor has an amino‐terminal extension called a …

Dissecting Apicoplast Targeting in the Malaria Parasite Plasmodium falciparum
Transit peptides mediate protein targeting into plastids and are only poorly understood. We
extracted amino acid features from transit peptides that target proteins to the relict plastid …

Protein import into chloroplasts
J Soll, E Schleiff - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2004 - nature.com
Chloroplasts are organelles of endosymbiotic origin, and they transferred most of their
genetic information to the host nucleus during this process. They therefore have to import …

Common ground for protein translocation: access control for mitochondria and chloroplasts
E Schleiff, T Becker - Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2011 - nature.com
Mitochondria and chloroplasts import the vast majority of their proteins across two
membranes, and use translocases of the outer membrane as an entry gate. These …
