GTP-dependent binding of preSSu to TOC translocons is mediated by atToc159. (A) Energy-depleted, in vitro–translated [35S]preSSu was incubated with isolated chloroplasts from WT:ppi2 or A864R:ppi2 plants in the presence of 0.1 mM GTP to promote GTP-dependent binding. The homo-bifunctional cross-linker DTME was added to cross-link the bound preprotein to TOC components. After quenching the cross-linker, the chloroplasts were detergent solubilized and proteins immunoprecipitated with atToc159 or atToc33 affinity-purified antibodies or preimmune serum. The immunoprecipitates were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and phosphorimaging to quantify coimmunoprecipitated [35S]preSSu or quantitative immunoblotting to detect atToc159 or atToc33. (B) Quantification of the levels of preSSu coimmunoprecipitating with atToc33 or atToc159 from WT:ppi2 or A864R:ppi2 chloroplasts. The quantification is from the single experiment presented in A. The data are representative of three replicate experiments.
