ABSTRACT:
A novel method to enhance translocation of molecules across or into cellular membranes using a plastid protein transport gene is described. The method can also be used to incorporate substances into membranes of organisms. Nucleic acid constructs include those which express a plastid protein transport protein or its equivalent in cells of all organisms.
