Lipids guide the way: targeting proteins to the chloroplast outer envelope membrane

Lynn G L Richardson et al. Dev Cell. .

Abstract

Correct delivery of peptides to appropriate subcellular organelles requires distinct trafficking and targeting mechanisms. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Kim et al. (2014) demonstrate that AKRA2, a targeting receptor for chloroplast outer envelope membrane proteins, binds chloroplast-specific lipids to ensure proper delivery of cargo to the chloroplast outer envelope.
