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