The predicted C-terminal β-barrel structure of TGD4 is weakly similar to proteins of the outer cell membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Here, we show that, like TGD2, the TGD4 protein when …

In Arabidopsis, diacylglycerol can be derived from the ER or the plastid. Here, we describe a mutant of Arabidopsis, trigalactosyldiacylglycerol4 (tgd4), in which ER-derived diacylglycerol is …

Jan 23, 2012 · Here, we show that, like TGD2, the TGD4 protein when fused to Ds RED specifically binds phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). As previously shown for tgd1 mutants, tgd4 …

The chloroplast outer envelope protein TGD4 belongs to the LptD family conserved in bacteria and plants and selectively binds and may transport phosphatidic acid. We describe a second …

Aug 8, 2008 · The TGD4 gene encodes a protein that appears to be associated with the ER membranes. Mutant ER microsomes show a decreased transfer of lipids to isolated plastids …

Sep 28, 2015 · Genetic analysis indicates that TGD4 is epistatic to TGD5 in ER-to-plastid lipid trafficking, whereas double mutants of a null tgd5 allele with tgd1-1 or tgd2-1 show a …

Apr 21, 2010 · This question was addressed through the analysis of double mutants of tgd1-1 or tgd4-3 in genetic mutant backgrounds leading to a defect in lipid fatty acid desaturation either …

Feb 15, 2013 · The TGD1, -2, and -3 proteins form a putative ABC (ATP-binding cassette) transporter transporting ER-derived lipids through the inner envelope membrane of the …

Here, we show that, like TGD2, the TGD4 protein when fused to DsRED specifically binds phosphatidic acid (PtdOH). As previously shown for tgd1 mutants, tgd4 mutants have elevated …

Jan 1, 2013 · A hypothetical scheme for the transport of lipids into the chloroplast could be that PC is transported from the ER to the plastid envelope by TGD4 and possibly other unknown …
