Figure 1. KEA3 localizes to the thylakoid stromal lamellae.

Figure 1

(a) KEA3.2 has an amino-terminal chloroplast-targeting peptide, a cation/proton exchanger (CPA2) domain and a putative KTN domain. (b) Differential interference contrast, GFP and chlorophyll fluorescence were imaged in leaf guard cells from Arabidopsis WT plants and kea3-1 plants transformed with KEA3.2-GFP. Scale bar, 10 μm. (ce) KEA3 abundance was measured by western blot in: (c) Total protein (TP) and chloroplast (Ch) protein extracts; (d) Ch subfractionated into envelope (En), stroma (St) and thylakoids (Th); (e) Th separated into the fraction pelleted by 1,000g (1 K), grana (Gr), intermediate membranes (IM) and stromal lamellae (SL). (ce) Ponceau red (P.R.) stains of membranes after protein transfer before immunodetection are shown as loading controls.
