Phosphorylation of psToc34 in OEVs influences the Toc complex integrity. (A) Pea OEVs were solubilized with decylmaltoside after incubation with 32P-ATP adjusted with ATP to 1 μM (final) and subjected to a 25–70% sucrose density gradient centrifugation. Fractions of the density region from 35–70% were collected and subjected to SDS-PAGE followed by silver staining (lower panel) and visualization of radioactivity (upper panel). The inset shows the distribution of phosphorylated psToc34 (squares) or psToc159G/M (circles). (B) Pea OEVs were phosphorylated as described in the Materials and methods followed by immunoprecipitation using αToc75 or αOep37 antibodies. Flow through (10%, FT), wash (10%, W), and precipitate fractions (50%, E) were analysed by western blots (wb) using αToc159 (Toc159GM) or αToc34 antibodies. Phosphorylation was visualized by autoradiography (P32).
