AT3G20320 | trigalactosyldiacylglycerol2 (TGD2); FUNCTIONS IN: phospholipid binding, lipid transporter activity; INVOLVED IN: lipid transport; LOCATED IN: chloroplast, chloroplast inner membrane, membrane, chloroplast envelope; EXPRESSED IN: 23 plant structures; EXPRESSED DURING: 13 growth stages; CONTAINS InterPro DOMAIN/s: Mammalian cell entry related (InterPro:IPR003399); Has 660 Blast hits to 610 proteins in 215 species: Archae - 0; Bacteria - 436; Metazoa - 0; Fungi - 2; Plants - 56; Viruses - 0; Other Eukaryotes - 166 (source: NCBI BLink). trigalactosyldiacylglycerol2 Encodes a permease-like component of an ABC transporter involved in lipid transfer from ER to chloroplast. A phosphatidic acid-binding protein with a predicted mycobacterial cell entry domain. It is tethered to the inner chloroplast envelope membrane facing the outer envelope membrane. Presumed bacterial orthologs of TGD1 and TGD2 in Gram-negative bacteria are typically organized in transcriptional units, suggesting their involvement in a common biological process. Mutations in this gene suppress the low temperature-induced phenotype of Arabidopsis tocopherol-deficient mutant vte2. | 3 | - | View |
