Chloroplast Import of β-barrel Proteins. The TP and β-barrel domains from OEP80 can both mediate plastid import and counteract the intrinsic plastid exclusion signal encoded by the POTRA domains (P1–P3). OEP24, Outer Envelope Pore Protein24 β-barrel. (Adapted from Day et al. [2019] Figures 3, 4, and 6.)
