| Abstract | The heterotrimeric Toc core complex of the chloroplast protein import apparatus contains two GTPases, Toc159 and Toc34, together with the protein-conducting channel Toc75. Toc159 and Toc34 are exposed at the chloroplast surface and function in preprotein recognition. Together, they have been shown to facilitate the import of photosynthetic proteins into chloroplasts in Arabidopsis. Consequently, the ppi2 mutant lacking atToc159 has a non-photosynthetic albino phenotype. Previous mutations in the conserved G1 and G3 GTPase motifs abolished the function of Toc159 in vivo by disrupting targeting of the receptor to chloroplasts. Here, we demonstrate that a mutant in a conserved G1 lysine (atToc159 K868R) defective in GTP binding and hydrolysis can target and assemble into Toc complexes. We show that atToc159 K868R can support protein import into isolated chloroplasts, albeit at lower preprotein binding and import efficiencies compared with the wild-type receptor. Considering the absence of measurable GTPase activity in the K868R mutant, we conclude that GTP hydrolysis at atToc159 is not strictly required for preprotein translocation. The data also indicate that preprotein import requires at least one additional GTPase other than Toc159. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
