Abstract: | In all living organisms transmembrane (TM) proteins are crucially involved in many physiological processes and constitute 20-30% of the proteome. An important class of TM proteins are transporters that interconnect biochemical pathways across the plasma membrane and intracellular membranes, e.g. the mitochondrial membranes and chloroplast envelope membranes. In recent years, bioinformatical tools to predict TM domains and subcellular localization were developed and used to analyze the first complete plant genomes of Arabidopsis and rice. This review focuses on plant TM proteome databases that compile topology and intracellular targeting predictions and different kinds of experimental data. In addition, other web sites are discussed that contribute useful experimental and/or bioinformatical data. |
