How are proteins imported into the thylakoids of chloroplasts?
Solution
Answer:
Nuclear-encoded thylakoid proteins are first imported into the chloroplast and then directed to
the thylakoid using different sorting mechanisms.
The proteins targeted for chloroplasts contain transit peptide sequence called stromal import
sequence or a stromal and thylakoid targeting sequence.
Import receptors and translocation complexes aid in targeting the protein to its respective
location. The endoproteases in stroma remove transit peptide sequences and the proteins fold into
functional form.
Proteins of the outer membrane complex are called Tocs
Inner membrane translocon complex proteins are called Tics
Proteins destined for thylakoid membrane will have both stromal and thylakoid targeting
sequence. cpSRP pathway is used for the insertion of these integral membrane proteins into the
thylakoid membrane.
