Abstract
Plastids contain several key subcompartments. The two limiting envelope membranes (inner and outer membrane of the plastid envelope with an intermembrane space between), an aqueous phase (stroma), and an internal membrane system terms (thylakoids) formed of flat compressed vesicles (grana) and more light structures (lamellae). The thylakoid vesicles delimit another discrete soluble compartment, the thylakoid lumen. AT_CHLORO (http://at-chloro.prabi.fr/at_chloro/) is a unique database supplying information about the subplastidial localization of proteins. It was created from simultaneous proteomic analyses targeted to the main subcompartments of the chloroplast from Arabidopsis thaliana (i.e., envelope, stroma, thylakoid) and to the two subdomains of thylakoid membranes (i.e., grana and stroma lamellae). AT_CHLORO assembles several complementary information (MS-based experimental data, curated functional annotations and subplastidial localization, links to other public databases and references) which give a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge about the subplastidial localization and the function of chloroplast proteins, with a specific attention given to chloroplast envelope proteins.
