3.A.1.27.2
The chloroplast lipid (trigalactosyl diacyl glycerol (TDG)) transporter, Tdg1,2,3 (Lu et al., 2007). Lipids such as mono- and digalactolipids are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of plant cells and transferred to the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. Mutations in an outer chloroplastic envelope protein with 350 aas and 7 putative TMSs in the last 250 residues may catalyze translocation as part of a lipid transfer complex (Xu et al., 2003; Roston et al. 2012).
