Protein amino (N) termini are major determinants of protein stability in the cytosol of eukaryotes and prokaryotes, conceptualized in the N-end rule pathway, lately referred to as N-degron pathways. Here we argue for the existence of N-degron pathways in plastids of apicomplexa, algae, and plants. The prokaryotic N-degron pathway depends on a caseinolytic protease (CLP) S recognin (adaptor) for the recognition and delivery of N-degron-bearing substrates to CLP chaperone-protease systems. Diversified CLP systems are found in chloroplasts and nonphotosynthetic plastids, including CLPS homologs that specifically interact with a subset of N-terminal residues and stromal proteins. Chloroplast N-terminome data show enrichment of classic stabilizing residues [Ala (A), Ser (S), Val (V), Thr (T)] and avoidance of charged and large hydrophobic residues. We outline experimental test strategies for plastid N-degron pathways.
