In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to target both chloroplast- and nuclear-encoded proteins to the thylakoid membranes that house the photosynthetic machinery (Fig. 1). The first SRP ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

The TOC (Translocon at the Outer envelope of Chloroplasts)-TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope of Chloroplasts) supercomplex is responsible for mediating the transport of most precursor proteins ...
