Biotinylation (tagged) | Thermolysin sensitivity (shaved) | Protein at the surface of the organelle |
---|---|---|
− | − | ? |
+ | − | yes |
− | + | yes |
+ | + | yes |
(?) In the absence of biotinylation or sensitivity to thermolysin, although the polypeptide is probably not exposed at the surface of the plastid envelope, one cannot exclude a localization at the OEM.
