| Title | TIC236 gain-of-function mutations unveil the link between plastid division and plastid protein import. |
| Journal | Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A |
| Abstract |
SignificanceAlthough plastid division is critical for plant development, how components of the plastid division machinery (PDM) are imported into plastids remains unexplored. A forward genetic screen to identify suppressors of a crumpled leaf (crl) mutant deficient in plastid division led us to find dominant gain-of-function (GF) mutations in TIC236, which significantly increases the import of PDM components and completely rescues crl phenotypes. The defective plastid division phenotypes in crl and tic236-knockdown mutants and CRL-TIC236 association in a functional complex indicate that the CRL-TIC236 module is vital for plastid division. Hence, we report the first GF translocon mutants and unveil CRL as a novel functional partner of TIC236 for PDM import. |
