These proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as preproteins with cleavable targeting sequences. Several plastid types other than chloroplasts exist. During plant development, one plastid type may be converted to another, a process referred to as plastid transition (Jarvis and Lopez-Juez, 2013). During plastid transitions, proteome remodeling occurs, and one set of imported proteins is replaced by another that is functionally adapted (Kleffmann et al., 2007). Moreover, plastid proteomes are known to be regulated in an environmentdependent fashion, and chloroplasts may respond to changing light conditions by regulating the composition and abundance of photosynthetic complexes.展开更多
