Fig. 7. Insertion of Toc34 and variants into protein-free liposomes lacking PG. (A)
Insertion of [3H]-leucine-labelled Toc34 (upper, left),
(2-230)Toc34 (lower, left), Toc34C++ (upper, right) and
(2-230)Toc34C++ (lower, right) into liposomes of the composition C5
(Table 1) was performed,
quantified and presented as described in the legend for
Fig. 6. (B) Insertion of
[3H]-leucine-labelled (lanes 1-3) and
[35S]-methionine-labelled (lanes 4-6)
(2-230)Toc34 (upper
panel) and
(2-230)Toc34C++ (lower panel) into protein-free liposomes
not containing PG (lanes 2, 3, 5 and 6) was performed as described in
Fig. 2 and followed by
thermolysin treatment (Thr, lanes 3 and 6). In lanes 1 and 4, 10% of the
translation product is shown.
