Examining The Roles Of Pstoc75 Potra Domains In Chloroplast Protein Import, Richard Franklin Simmerman Aug 2011

Examining The Roles Of Pstoc75 Potra Domains In Chloroplast Protein Import, Richard Franklin Simmerman

Masters Theses

During chloroplast formation via endosymbiosis most of the plastid genome was transferred to the host nuclear genome. Genomic and proteomic analysis suggests that >95% of the original plastid proteome is now encoded in the nucleus, and these now cytosolically fabricated proteins require a post-translational transport pathway back into the organelle. This process is not well understood, yet it has been shown to involve translocons at the outer and inner envelope of the chloroplast membranes (TOC & TIC). These translocons interact with a cleavable N-terminal extension of between 20 and 100 residues on chloroplast-bound precursor proteins known as the transit-peptide. Precursor …
