Abstract

The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP37 is a member of the growing beta-barrel protein family of the outer chloroplast membrane. The reconstituted recombinant protein OEP37 from pea forms a rectifying high conductance channel with a main conductance (lambda) of Lambda= 500 picosiemens (symmetrical 250 mm KCl). The OEP37 channel is cation-selective (P(K+)/P(K-) = 14:1) with a voltage-dependent open probability maximal at V(mem) = 0 mV. The channel pore reveals an hourglass-shaped form with different diameters for the vestibule and restriction zone. The diameters of the vestibule at the high conductance side were estimated by d = 3.0 nm and the restriction zone by d = 1.5 nm. The OEP37 channel displayed a nanomolar affinity for the precursor of the chloroplast inner membrane protein Tic32, which is imported into the chloroplast through a yet unknown pathway. Pre-proteins imported through the usual Toc pathway and synthetic control peptides, however, did not show a comparable block of the OEP37 channel. In addition to the electrophysiological characterization, we studied the gene expression of OEP37 in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Here, transcripts of AtOEP37 are ubiquitously expressed throughout plant development an...Continue Reading
