Structural and functional characterisation of Photosystem II from two His-tagged transplastomic strains of Nicotiana tabacum

, 2009
Photosystem II (PSII) is a polypeptide-cofactor complex organised as a homodimeric multisubunit protein embedded in the thylakoid membrane. PSII monomers are heterooligomers related to each other by a pseudo-twofold axis perpendicular to the membrane ...

Uncovering the role of the PPR protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR6 in splicing chloroplast group II introns

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The P‐class pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein PHOTOSYSTEM ONE BIOGENESIS FACTOR (PBF6) forms splicing complexes with other known splicing factors to facilitate chloroplast intron splicing. PBF6 cooperates with other PPR splicing factors to promote the splicing of the same intron through forming respective splicing complexes.

Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]

, 2011
A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of

Strigolactone‐mediated architecture regulation and stress resilience: Insights and innovations for crop breeding

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This review summarizes the discovery, biosynthesis, and transport of strigolactone, and the D14‐D3/MAX2‐D53/SMXLs signaling module. It highlights diverse roles of strigolactone in plant architecture, stress responses, and crop breeding, including species‐specific functions, hormonal crosstalk, and agricultural applications.

Biochemical and biotechnological approaches as basis for structure determination of pigment-protein complexes of oxygenic photosynthesis

, 2009
Today the structure of photosystem II, which is the enzyme responsible for the evolution of molecular oxygen by plants, algae and cyanobacteria, is known up to a resolution of about 3.0 Å in cyanobacteria (Loll et al., 2005).

Chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of Sphaerosorus coelastroides Pascher (Xanthophyceae) from Central Appalachia, Clinch River, Virginia, United States

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract This report describes the isolation and culture of Sphaerosorus coelastroides from the plankton of a freshwater river in the central Appalachian mountain chain. This alga was first observed in a dry freshwater riverbed in Central Europe in 1908 and, since then, has been included in Xanthophyceae surveys from nearly all continents with ...

Three dimensional structure of the light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complex from plant chloroplasts

, 2002
The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein complex (LHC-II) is the major collector of solar energy in all plants and it binds about half of the chlorophyll in green plants.

Heat‐evolved coral photosymbionts exhibit dampened stress responses across distinct physiological contexts

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Experimental evolution under elevated temperatures has generated heat‐evolved (HE) strains of Symbiodiniaceae that enhance coral bleaching tolerance. However, the biomolecular mechanisms underlying this resilience remain poorly understood. We conducted a laboratory heat‐stress experiment and applied synchrotron‐based Fourier transform infrared (

Post-Translational Membrane Protein Targeting by the Chloroplast Signal Recognition Particle [PDF]

, 2011
Post-translational transport of membrane proteins poses enormous challenges to the cells. The transport factors must accurately select and deliver the cargos to the appropriate target membranes.
