Protein import into isolated pea root leucoplasts [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 Leucoplasts are important organelles for the synthesis and storage of starch, lipids and proteins. However, molecular mechanism of protein import into leucoplasts and how it differs from that of import into chloroplasts remain unknown.

Import and processing of proteins by castor bean leucoplasts [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1989 The precursor of plastocyanin, a thylakoid lumen protein, is imported by castor bean leucoplasts and processed to an intermediate form by a stromal processing peptidase of similar properties and specificity to the corresponding chloroplast enzyme. No further maturation is observed, indicating that the internal protein transport and maturation system ...

Fatty acid synthesis by isolated leucoplasts from developingBrassica seeds: Role of nucleoside triphosphates and DHAP-shuttle as the source of energy [PDF]
Journal of Biosciences, 1996 Fatty acid synthesis in leucoplasts isolated from developing seeds ofBrassica campestris was absolutely dependent on external source of ATP. None of the other nucleoside triphosphates could replace ATP in the reaction mixture. Use of ADP alone also resulted in reduced rates of fatty acid synthesis.

Malate- and Pyruvate-Dependent Fatty Acid Synthesis in Leucoplasts from Developing Castor Endosperm [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1992 Leucoplasts were isolated from the endosperm of developing castor (Ricinis communis) endosperm using a discontinuous Percoll gradient. The rate of fatty acid synthesis was highest when malate was the precursor, at 155 nanomoles acetyl-CoA equivalents per milligram protein per hour.

Transit Peptides Play a Major Role in the Preferential Import of Proteins into Leucoplasts and Chloroplasts [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1996 The in vitro import characteristics of six different precursors of plastid proteins were assessed to determine differences in the protein import pathways of leucoplasts and chloroplasts. Five of these precursor proteins are destined to different subchloroplast sites, and one is a leucoplast stromal precursor protein.

Uptake and Processing of the Precursor to the Small Subunit of Ribulose 1,5-Bisphosphate Carboxylase by Leucoplasts from the Endosperm of Developing Castor Oil Seeds [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1986 Intact leucoplasts from the endosperm of developing castor oil seed were isolated by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. The precursor to the small subunit of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase from pea was synthesized in vitro from hybrid-selected mRNA. Leucoplasts imported this precursor by an ATP-requiring mechanism similar to that described
