A non-phosphorylated, non-ABC (ATP-binding cassette) ATPase that is involved in protein transport. Involved in the transport of proteins or preproteins into chloroplast stroma (several ATPases may participate in this process).
History
EC 7.4.2.4 created 2000 as EC 3.6.3.52, transferred 2018 to EC 7.4.2.4
Protein-specific energy requirements for protein transport across or into thylakoid membranes. Two lumenal proteins are transported in the absence of ATP.
A new chloroplast protein import intermediate reveals distinct translocation machineries in the two envelope membranes: energetics and mechanistic implications.
