Significance Due to the transient nature of active Tat complex, much knowledge available has been hard won. Electric-field-indicating absorbance transients allow investigation transmembrane ion movement using native electric potential in thylakoids while circumventing challenges reconstitution. Electrical behavior transiently and/or constitutively assembled complexes suggests that Sec translocation occurs through a barrel-stave-type proteinaceous pore, likely toroidal pore. This would be...
Chloroplasts are the organelles in green plants responsible for carrying out numerous essential metabolic pathways, most notably photosynthesis. Within chloroplasts, thylakoid membrane system houses all photosynthetic pigments, reaction center complexes, and of electron carriers, is light-dependent ATP synthesis. Over 90% chloroplast proteins encoded nucleus, translated cytosol, subsequently imported into chloroplast. Further protein transport or across utilizes one four translocation...
