The chloroplast relies on proteins encoded in the nucleus, synthesized in the cytosol and subsequently transported into chloroplast through the protein complexes Toc and Tic (Translocon at the outer/inner membrane of chloroplasts). A Tic complex member, Tic55, contains a redox-related motif

Successful import of hundreds of nucleus-encoded proteins is essential for chloroplast biogenesis. The import of cytosolic precursor proteins relies on the Toc- (translocon at the outer chloroplast membrane) and Tic- (translocon at the inner chloroplast membrane) complexes. In Arabidopsis thaliana,

Tic20 is a central, membrane-embedded component of the precursor protein translocon of the inner envelope of chloroplasts (TIC). In Arabidopsis thaliana, four different isoforms of Tic20 exist. They are annotated as atTic20-I, -II, -IV and -V and form two distinct phylogenetic subfamilies in

The plant circadian clock is required for daily anticipation of the diurnal environment. Mutation in Arabidopsis thaliana TIME FOR COFFEE (TIC) affects free-running circadian rhythms. To investigate how TIC functions within the circadian system, we introduced markers for the evening and morning

A pivotal step in the transformation of an endosymbiotic cyanobacterium to a plastid some 1.5 billion years ago was the evolution of a protein import apparatus, the TOC/TIC machinery, in the common ancestor of Archaeplastida. Recently, a putative new TIC member was identified in Arabidopsis

The process of importing nuclear encoded proteins into chloroplasts is mediated by the Translocons on the Outer/Inner Envelope of Chloroplasts (TOC and TIC complex). The ancestor of the TOC complex was formed by pre-existing proteins from the cyanobacterial ancestor; other proteins recruited from

AKIN10, the catalytic subunit of the Snf1 (sucrose non-fermenting 1)-related kinase 1 (SnRK1) complex, acts as an energy sensor in plants. We showed that AKIN10-induced expression affects the pace of the circadian clock and particularly the phase of expression of GIGANTEA (GI). The AKIN10 effect on

In plants, iron homeostasis is tightly regulated to supply sufficient amounts of this metal for an optimal growth while preventing excess accumulation to avoid oxidative stress. To identify new regulators of iron homeostasis, a luciferase-based genetic screen using the Arabidopsis AtFer1 ferritin

Plants often respond to environmental changes by reprogramming metabolic and stress-associated pathways. Homeostatic integration of signaling is a central requirement for ensuring metabolic stability in living organisms. Under diurnal conditions, properly timed rhythmic metabolism provides fitness

The recently completed genome of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii was surveyed for components of the chloroplast protein translocation complexes. Putative components were identified using reciprocal BlastP searches with the protein sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana as queries. As a comparison, we also

Chloroplast protein import is mediated by two hetero-oligomeric protein complexes, the Tic and Toc translocons, which are located in the inner and outer envelope membranes. At the inner membrane, many Tic components have been identified and characterized, but it remains unclear how these Tic

The chloroplast inner envelope membrane (IM) plays essential roles in lipid synthesis, metabolite transport, and cellular signaling in plants. We have targeted a model nucleus-encoded IM protein from Arabidopsis thaliana, pre-Tic40-His, by relocating its expression from the nucleus to the

BACKGROUND
Accurate import of thousands of nuclear-encoded proteins is an important step in plastid biogenesis. However, the import machinery of cytosolic precursor proteins to plastids relies on the Toc and Tic (translocons on the outer envelope and inner envelope membrane of chloroplasts)

Preprotein import into chloroplasts is mediated by the coordinated actions of translocons at the outer and inner envelopes of chloroplasts (Toc and Tic, respectively). The cleavable N-terminal transit peptide (TP) of preproteins plays an essential role in the import of preproteins into chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are the organelles that define plants1. Along with many other metabolic, developmental and signaling functions, chloroplasts are responsible for photosynthesis - the process whereby sunlight energy is harnessed to power the cellular activities of life. Consequently,
