The protein transport machinery of the chloroplast outer membrane that contains at least three components Toc159, Toc75 and Toc34, interacts with precursor proteins which are imported into the chloroplast in a GTP dependant manner. The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing in a cellular organelle, lipid bilayer of an organelle envelope. Any constituent part of a chloroplast, a chlorophyll-containing plastid with thylakoids organized into grana and frets, or stroma thylakoids, and embedded in a stroma. Either of the lipid bilayers that surround a plastid and form the plastid envelope. The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the plastid envelope. Located such that some or all of the gene product itself penetrates at least one phospholipid bilayer of the chloroplast outer membrane. May also refer to the state of being buried in the bilayer with no exposure outside the bilayer. The outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the chloroplast envelope. Located in the chloroplast outer membrane such that some covalently attached portion of the gene product, for example part of a peptide sequence or some other covalently attached moiety such as a GPI anchor, spans or is embedded in one or both leaflets of the membrane. Either of the lipid bilayers that surround a chloroplast and form the chloroplast envelope. The double lipid bilayer enclosing the chloroplast and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space. Protein translocon complex at the chloroplast outer membrane.
