Neofunctionalised plastid translocon regulates chloroplast ageing in Arabidopsis
Protein import across the chloroplast outer membrane is mediated by the TOC complex and regulated by GTP hydrolysis at two receptor GTPases, large and small. The former are the {beta}-barrel-containing Toc159 family of proteins (Sun and Jarvis 2023; H. Li and Chiu 2010; Shi and Theg 2013a; Kessler and Schnell 2009). The smallest member of this family in higher plants is Toc90, which has long been…
