Functional Interaction Between Toc75 POTRA1 Domain and Tic22‐III in the Intermembrane Space During Chloroplast Protein Import [PDF]

Plant Direct
Chaperones are essential for facilitating the import of nuclear‐encoded precursor proteins into chloroplasts. In the intermembrane space (IMS) of the chloroplasts, this process is mediated by the transport‐associated domains (POTRA) of the translocon at ...

Phototropin 1 and 2 Influence Photosynthesis, UV-C Induced Photooxidative Stress Responses, and Cell Death

Cells, 2021
Phototropins are plasma membrane-associated photoreceptors of blue light and UV-A/B radiation. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes two phototropins, PHOT1 and PHOT2, that mediate phototropism, chloroplast positioning, and stomatal opening.

Modulation of Photorespiratory Enzymes by Oxidative and Photo-Oxidative Stress Induced by Menadione in Leaves of Pea (Pisum sativum)

Plants, 2021
Photorespiration, an essential component of plant metabolism, is concerted across four subcellular compartments, namely, chloroplast, peroxisome, mitochondrion, and the cytoplasm.

Functional Relationship of Arabidopsis AOXs and PTOX Revealed via Transgenic Analysis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Alternative oxidase (AOX) and plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) are terminal oxidases of electron transfer in mitochondria and chloroplasts, respectively. Here, taking advantage of the variegation phenotype of the Arabidopsis PTOX deficient mutant (im), we

Detergent-Resistant Membranes in Chloroplasts and Mitochondria of the Halophyte Salicornia perennans under Salt Stress

Plants, 2023
Halophytes represent important models for studying the key mechanisms of salt tolerance. One approach to the development of new knowledge of salt tolerance is to study the properties of detergent-resistant membranes (DRMs).

Comparative transcriptomic and plastid development analysis sheds light on the differential carotenoid accumulation in kiwifruit flesh

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Carotenoids are colorful lipophilic isoprenoids synthesized in all photosynthetic organisms which play roles in plant growth and development and provide numerous health benefits in the human diet (precursor of Vitamin A).

Recent Advances in Understanding the Structural and Functional Evolution of FtsH Proteases

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The FtsH family of proteases are membrane-anchored, ATP-dependent, zinc metalloproteases. They are universally present in prokaryotes and the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. Most bacteria bear a single ftsH gene that produces hexameric
