E. Teyssier et al., THE OUTER-MEMBRANE PROTEIN E24 OF SPINACH CHLOROPLAST ENVELOPE - CLONING OF A CDNA AND TOPOLOGICAL INSERTION OF THE PROTEIN IN THE MEMBRANE, Comptes rendus de l'Academie des sciences. Serie 3, Sciences de la vie, 318(1), 1995, pp. 17-25
A cDNA coding for the outer membrane protein E24 of spinach chloroplas
t envelope has been obtained by screening an expression library of spi
nach cDNA with polyclonal antibodies. Analysis of the protein sequence
and comparison with the thermolysin susceptibility of E24 in the chlo
roplast in situ suggest that E24 is a transmembrane protein and show t
hat its NH2 terminal end is located on the cytosolic side of chloropla
sts.
