Envelope Membrane Proteins That Interact with Chloroplastic Precursor Proteins
S. E. Perry and K. Keegstra
Department of Botany, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin 53706-1381
The post-translational transport of cytoplasmically synthesized precursor
proteins into chloroplasts requires proteins in the envelope membranes. To
identify some of these proteins, label transfer cross-linking was performed
using precursor to the small subunit of ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate
carboxylase (prSSU) that was blocked at an early stage of the transport
process. Two envelope proteins were identified: an 86-kD protein and a
75-kD protein, both present in the outer membrane. Labeling of both
proteins required prSSU and could not be accomplished with SSU lacking a
transit peptide. Labeling of the 75-kD protein occurred only when low
levels of ATP were present, whereas labeling of the 86-kD protein occurred
in the absence of exogenous ATP. Although both labeled proteins were
identified as proteins of the outer envelope membrane, the labeled form of
the 75-kD protein could only be detected in fractions containing mixed
envelope membranes. Based on these observations, we propose that prSSU
first binds in an ATP-independent fashion to the 86-kD protein. The
energy-requiring step is association with the 75-kD protein and assembly of
a translocation contact site between the inner and outer membrane of the
chloroplastic envelope.
