The chloroplast protein transport system includes a motor protein complex, which plays a critical driving role in the translocation of precursor proteins across the chloroplast membrane.

Coding sequences for the majority of chloroplast proteins have been lost, so these proteins are now encoded by the nuclear genome, synthesized in the cytoplasm, and transported from the cytoplasm ...

It shows how a pathogen's effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and ...

2024年11月7日，中国科学院生物物理研究所李梅团队和中国科学院植物研究所杨文强团队在《Molecular Plant》合作发表题为"Architecture of the ATP-driven motor for protein import into chloroplasts"的研究论文 ...

The Webster group intends to build upon this new understanding of bacterial-type gene expression to examine its contribution to the production of photosynthetic proteins in the chloroplast.

B. L. Weis, E. Schleiff, and W. Zerges (2013) Protein targeting to subcellular organelles via mRNA localization. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta- Molecular Cell Research 1833; 260-273. Schottkowski, M, ...

Chloroplasts are the principal cell structures that house the photosynthetic apparatus converting light energy into the chemical energy that fuels plant growth. Specifically, the Rubisco protein ...

Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae and certain kinds of bacteria convert solar radiation into chemical energy, must adjust itself to changes in the intensity of sunlight, so as to ...

Both chloroplasts and mitochondria each contain about 100–150 genes that code for proteins essential to their function. For plants to function properly, optimal coordination between chromosomal ...
