Influence of increasing amounts of ecoTatA on thylakoid transport mediated by peaTatA. In thylakoido complementation of 16/23 transport by peaTatA was analysed in the presence of increasing amounts of ecoTatA. Both TatA proteins were obtained from in vitro translation in the RTS system in the presence of [35S]-methionine, which allows their detection by autoradiography (stars: peaTatA, diamond: ecoTatA). The composition of each supplementation, i.e. the proportion of pea TatA, eco TatA, and empty RTS in the total volume of 25 μl, is given above the lanes. Ti-1 indicates the position of the protease-protected fragment indicative of translocation intermediate Ti-1 of the 16/23 chimera which represents the membrane-bound precursor protein prior to membrane translocation of the 23 kDa passenger polypeptide24, 48, 55.
