The role of transit peptides in the localization of chloroplastic proteins: Progress report
Sjef Smeekens in the Utrecht group had just isolated a cDNA clone for PC and plans had been made for him to bring it to our lab to conduct import studies. In that application we proposed to examine the pathway of PC transport to the thylakoid lumen and to investigate the role of the transit peptide in that process. Additionally we proposed to begin studies aimed at investigating protein transport to the chloroplastic envelope. The progress made during the last three years in achieving these objectives is outlined below. During this grant period, we initiated some additional studies aimed at investigating the effect of known topogenic sequences on targeting within chloroplasts. Our results in these studies are also presented below. The descriptions provided in this report outline the major findings and conclusions.
