Transport and Processing of Ferredoxin and Plastocyanin: A Thylakoid-Specific Processing Enzyme

Progress in Photosynthesis Research

Abstract

Plastocyanin and ferredoxin are photosynthetic electroncarriers active in the chloroplast lumen and stroma respectively allthough they are synthesized in the cytoplasm. Their uptake and processing by chloroplasts was analyzed by testing the precursor proteins, mutant proteins with a partially deleted transit peptide, and fusionproteins in which the transit and mature parts were exchanged, in import-experiments with intact chloroplasts and by incubation with partially purified stromal processing enzyme.
