Energetics and mechanisms of protein transport and energy transduction in chloroplasts
The Tat pathway for protein translocation across membranes is found in chloroplasts, bacteria and archaea. This pathway is responsible for the delivery of a number of proteins required for chloroplast biogenesis and homeostasis, including subunits of the photosynthetic oxygen-evolving complex and of the three large protein complexes of the photosynthetic electron transport chain. The manner through which proteins are transported on this pathway is highly unusual, and through the research supported by his set of DOE grants are pointing to a mechanism for the Tat translocation machinery that is previously unknown for protein trafficking.
