“…TPR domaincontaining proteins, which are found in all organisms in cellular compartments are known to contribute to posttranslational protein import by the interaction with cytosolic chaperones (Feldheim and Schekman , 1994 ;Young et al , 2003 ;Schlegel et al , 2007 ). Post-translational protein translocation involving TPR-containing proteins and cytosolic chaperones has been well documented for mammalian and yeast receptors Tom20, Tom34 and Tom70 (Abe et al , 2000 ;Young et al , 2003 ;Chew et al , 2004 ;Saitoh et al , 2007 ;Faou and Hoogenraad , 2012 ). In plants, apart from Toc64, TPR-mediated preprotein translocation has thus far been reported for the mitochondrial outer envelope protein, OM64 and recently, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) TPR-docking protein, AtTPR7.…”
