Two of the pathways are used for soluble lumenal proteins, where the proteins bear cleavable targeting signals that are recognized by one of two distinct translocases. These pathways differ in fundamental respects. A subset of lumenal proteins are transported in an unfolded state by a typical Sec system, whereas others are transported by a novel class of translocase that appears to function primarily in the transport of fully-folded proteins. Related pro- tein translocases have now been shown to operate in a wide variety of bacterial species, suggesting a wide- spread requirement for the translocation of folded pro- teins across biological membranes. Numerous integral membrane proteins are also targeted into the thylakoid membrane, and these too follow at least two dis- tinct routes. Some proteins use a signal recognition particle-dependent pathway that requires GTP and unidentified apparatus in the thylakoid membrane. Others, however, require none of the known targeting factors and may insert spontaneously into the membrane. In this article, the rationale behind this pathway complexity is discussed in relation to the properties of the substrate proteins and the evolutionary origins of the chloroplast. Key words: Thylakoid, proteins, chloroplast, Sec system, translocase. Introduction Transport of proteins into or across membrane bilayers occurs on a large scale in almost every type of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell. The underlying mechanisms have attracted a great deal of attention over the last 2 3 decades, primarily because the overall process of protein translocation represents such a major feat of biochemistry (Jungnickel et al., 1994). An entire range of proteins, differing widely in size, shape and hydrophobicity, must be recognized and then transported across membranes which are usually designed to be anything but permeable. Energy-transducing membranes, such as the bacterial plasma membrane, mitochondrial inner membrane and the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts and cyano- bacteria, should not even permit leakage of protons. To achieve this, cells have needed to overcome three major hurdles. First, the substrate proteins have to be recognized as being scheduled for transport. This usually means that they are synthesized with a built-in targeting signal, which in many cases is removed once translocation is completed. Secondly, the proteins must be quantitatively translocated across the appropriate membrane. This is important; some proteins would be very toxic, even lethal, if active on the wrong side of the membrane. Thirdly, the entire process often has to occur without allowing significant leakage of ions at the same time. In the case of the chloroplast, an additional hurdle has to be overcome: that of intraorganellar sorting. The chloroplast is a structurally complex organelle comprising numerous distinct compartments ( Robinson et al., 1998). The organelle is bounded by a double-membrane envelope inside which is found the soluble stromal phase and a major, interconnecting thylakoid membrane network. It is widely accepted that chloroplasts arose from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria and they still contain their own prokaryotic-type genetic system. However, in the course of evolution, most of the original genes have been transferred to the nucleus and chloroplast biogenesis thus requires the import of numerous proteins from the cyto- 1 To whom correspondence should be sent.

Most of the abundant thylakoid proteins are synthe- evolving complex proteins (23K, 16K), photosystem I sized in the cytosol and these proteins must therefore be subunit N and photosystem II subunit T. Transport of transported into the organelle and directed across the these proteins requires neither soluble factors nor nucleoside soluble stromal phase to their correct destination. Recent triphosphates but is instead totally dependent on the studies on the biogenesis of thylakoid proteins have DpH across the thylakoid membrane (Mould and pointed to the operation of a surprising variety of mechanisms Robinson, 1991; Cline et al., 1992). Competition studies for the targeting of proteins into and across the showed that this system operates in parallel with the Sec thylakoid membrane. In this article these advances are pathway and, most importantly, the choice of pathway is reviewed and the unexpected pathway complexity is dis- dictated by the type of presequence present (Cline et al., cussed in terms of the evolution of the pathways and the 1993; Robinson et al., 1994; Henry et al., 1994). Studies properties of the substrate proteins. on the targeting signals have shown that both types contain the three domains described above, but DpHdependent routing is dependent on the presence of (at Biogenesis of thylakoid lumen proteins: two very different targeting pathways least) two particular determinants: a twin-arginine motif immediately before the hydrophobic domain and a highly Particular interest has centred on the biogenesis of hydrophobic residue two or three residues thereafter thylakoid lumen proteins because these must also be (Chaddock et al., 1995; Brink et al., 1998).

The bacterial and thylakoidal Sec systems Thereafter, the thylakoid-targeting signal directs translocation into the lumen (reviewed in Robinson et al., 1998). All known thylakoid-targeting signals strongly resemble bacterial signal peptides in containing three characteristic domains: an amino-terminal charged domain, hydrophobic core domain and a more polar carboxy-terminal domain. In bacteria, signal peptides have long been known to promote export to the periplasmic space by the general secretory pathway (the Sec pathway), and the expectation was that these proteins must be translocated by a Sec-related system in the thylakoid membrane. A Sec-type system has indeed been identified in chloroplasts in recent years and a stromal SecA homologue and ATP have been shown to be required for the translocation of several lumenal proteins including plastocyanin and the 33 kda protein ( 33K) of the oxygen-evolving complex ( Yuan et al., 1994; Nakai et al., 1994).

3 likewise thread proteins through a relatively narrow pore (Jungnickel et al., 1994). In contrast, it has been found that the DpH-driven system has the ability to transport fully-folded globular proteins across the thylakoid membrane which is, after all, designed to be impermeable even to protons (Clark and Theg, 1997; Hynds et al., 1998). How this impressive feat is achieved remains to be resolved. The basic mechanistic features of the targeting pathways for lumenal proteins are illustrated diagramatically in Fig. 2. A related protein export pathway in bacteria Transport of proteins 371 and functionally similar to the twin arginine-containing targeting signals of DpH-dependent lumenal proteins (Berks, 1996). Because these cofactors appear only to be inserted in the cytoplasm, folding of the proteins has to take place at this stage and this precludes translocation of this type of protein by the Sec pathway (Santini et al., 1998). The Escherichia coli genome contains several genes that encode Hcf106 homologues, one of which is unlinked whereas the other is the first gene in a four gene operon. These genes have been termed tat genes (for twin-arginine translocation) and it has recently been shown that their disruption leads to a block in export of a range of cofactor-containing proteins (Sargent et al., 1998; Weiner et al., 1998; Bogsch et al., 1998). Of the proteins known to be targeted by the corre- sponding, DpH-driven thylakoidal system, few if any are believed to bind cofactors. It therefore seems likely that this type of translocase is primarily used for the targeting of two types of protein: those that bind cofactors and which are thus obliged to fold prior to translocation, and those that simply fold too rapidly or tightly for the Sec system to handle. The origins of the DpH-dependent pathway were unknown until the recent identification and sequencing of the first component of the translocase. Voelker and Barkan succeeded in isolating a maize mutant in this pathway, termed hcf106 (Voelker and Barkan, 1995), and the sequencing of the gene encoding the Hcf106 protein (Settles et al., 1997) led to the realization that this system was in fact far more widespread than initially supposed. Homologues of the hcf106 gene are present in nearly all of the sequenced bacterial genomes as unassigned open reading frames and it is now clear that a basically similar translocase operates in these organisms. Most of the substrates for this pathway appear to bind redox cofactors such as FeS or molybdopterin centres, and such proteins are synthesized with signal peptides that are structurally Fig. 2. Pathways for the targeting of thylakoid lumen proteins in chloroplasts. The figure illustrates the differing characteristics of the DpH- and Sec-dependent pathways. Both types of protein are synthe- sized with bipartite presequences containing envelope transit signals (black boxes) and thylakoid-targeting signals in tandem. The thylakoidtargeting signals of 23K and plastocyanin (DpH- and Sec-dependent substrates, respectively), are depicted by hatched or gray boxes. The envelope transit peptides of both precursors are recognized by a protein transport system in the envelope membranes which facilitates translocation into the stroma. The envelope transit signals are usually removed at this point and the resultant intermediate forms are directed along two distinct routes. Proteins such as 23K are believed to refold in the stroma before being transported in a folded form by a DpH-driven translocase; other lumenal proteins, such as 33K and plastocyanin, are transported by the Sec route. Translocation of such proteins involves stromal SecA and a membrane-bound SecYEG complex. It is presently unclear whether these proteins fold in the stroma, but the later stages involve SecA/ATP-driven translocation of the intermediate in an unfolded state through the membrane-bound Sec apparatus. After translocation, substrates on both pathways are processed to the mature forms by the thylakoidal processing peptidase. The insertion of thylakoid membrane proteins two further pathways The thylakoid membrane houses numerous integral mem- brane proteins and, while a proportion are synthesized within the chloroplast, it is now clear that most are imported from the cytosol. As with lumenal proteins, in vitro insertion assays have been widely used in attempts to unravel the insertion mechanisms involved. These studies have demonstrated that at least two further pathways are followed by integral membrane proteins. Most integral membrane proteins are synthesized only with stroma-targeting envelope transit signals, and thus the information specifying insertion must reside in the mature protein (Lamppa, 1988; Viitanen et al., 1988). The major light-harvesting protein of photosystem II, Lhcb1, has been the subject of many of these studies and it is now clear that the insertion of this protein requires targeting factors in both the stromal phase and the thylakoid membrane. Insertion is totally reliant on a stromal form of signal recognition particle (SRP) which comprises a homologue of the 54 kda subunit of eukaryotic SRPs together with a novel 43 kda subunit (Li et al., 1995; Schuenemann et al., 1998). This finding comes as no real surprise because there is now good evidence that SRP plays a major role in the targeting of membrane proteins in bacteria (reviewed by de Gier et al., 1997). Some differences are apparent since other SRPs in E. coli and eukaryotes contain an RNA molecule which appears to be absent in the chloroplastic SRP, but otherwise this appears to be another example of a prokaryotic-type pathway that has been inherited from the cyanobacterial

Insertion by this route requires nucleoside triphosphates, preferably GTP (Cline et al., 1992; Hoffman and Franklin, 1994) and the presence of targeting machinery in the thylakoid membrane probably the Sec apparatus, since this has been implicated in bacterial SRP-dependent pathways ( Valent et al., 1998). Rather more surprising is the finding that some proteins require none of the known targeting apparatus for their insertion into thylakoids. A series of single-span membrane proteins, including subunit II of the ATP synthase (CF II) and photosystem II subunits W and X (PsbW, Fig. 3.

This factor then mediates the GTP-dependent insertion cation processes (Michl et al., 1994; Lorkovic et al., 1995; into the thylakoid membrane, probably via the SecYEG complex used Kim et al., 1998). Because insertion is not dependent on for a subset of lumenal proteins. By analogy with bacterial systems, an additional factor, FtsY, probably functions as a soluble signal peptide any of the known translocation apparatus, it has been receptor mediating transfer to SecYEG. Pre-PsbW, on the other hand, proposed that these proteins insert spontaneously into is imported into the stroma and processed to an intermediate form, the thylakoid membrane, and the role of the signal peptide after which the protein inserts into the thylakoid membrane by an apparently spontaneous mechanism. In this process, the hydrophobic may be simply to provide an additional hydrophobic regions in the signal peptide and mature protein insert co-ordinately to region to assist insertion of the transmembrane section in drive translocation of the intervening region; cleavage by the thylakoidal the mature protein. These distinct insertion pathways are processing peptidase then yields the mature protein (Chaal and summarized in Fig. 3. Howe, 1998).
