General annotation (Comments)

Function

Essential protein. Mediates the insertion of proteins targeted to the outer membrane of chloroplasts By similarity. Required for the import of protein precursors into chloroplasts. Forms the voltage-dependent preprotein translocation channels (hydrophilic beta barrel) of the TOC complex in the chloroplastic outer membrane. Ref.12

Subunit structure

Part of the TOC core complex that includes a protein for the specific recognition of transit peptides surrounded by a ring composed of four proteins forming translocation channels, and four to five GTP-binding proteins providing energy. This core complex can interact with components of the TIC complex to form a larger import complex. Chloroplastic protein precursors such as prSS (precursor of the RuBisCO small subunit) also interact with these complexes. The TOC complex contains a specific subset of polar lipids such as digalactosyldiacylglyceride (DGDG), phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG). TOC75-3 interacts with TOC34/OEP34, TOC159/TOC86, TOC132 and TOC120. Ref.11

Subcellular location

Plastidchloroplast outer membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Ref.6 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.11.

Tissue specificity

Mostly expressed in young and actively dividing photosynthetic tissues and, to a lower extent, in old leaves and roots. Particularly low levels in leaves after etiolation. Ref.12

Developmental stage

Expressed predominantly during the early stages of plant growth, peaking at three weeks after germination (at protein level). Ref.11

Induction

Up-regulated by CIA2 in leaves. Ref.5

Domain

Transmembrane regions consist mainly of membrane-spanning sided beta-sheets, which are not predicted by sequence analysis tools.

Disruption phenotype

Plants have an embryo development arrested at the two cells stage. Ref.12

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the TOC75 family.
