Heterocyst Thylakoid Bioenergetics [PDF]
Life, 2019 Heterocysts are specialized cells that differentiate in the filaments of heterocystous cyanobacteria. Their role is to maintain a microoxic environment for the nitrogenase enzyme during diazotrophic growth.

How state transitions balance photosynthetic electron transport in plants - a quantitative study. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In plants, the process of state transition regulates the allocation of sunlight energy between Photosystem II (PSII) and PSI. However, the implications of state transitions for harmonizing electron transport rates between photosystems, and a full quantitative picture of this process, remain underexplored.

Thylakoid Protein Phosphorylation in Chloroplasts
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2021 Abstract Because of their abundance and extensive phosphorylation, numerous thylakoid proteins stand out amongst the phosphoproteins of plants and algae. In particular, subunits of light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) and of photosystem II (PSII) are dynamically phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in response to light conditions and ...

Native architecture of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast revealed by in situ cryo-electron tomography
eLife, 2015 Chloroplast function is orchestrated by the organelle's intricate architecture. By combining cryo-focused ion beam milling of vitreous Chlamydomonas cells with cryo-electron tomography, we acquired three-dimensional structures of the chloroplast in its ...

Light induced changes in protein expression and uniform regulation of transcription in the thylakoid lumen of Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 In plants oxygenic photosynthesis is performed by large protein complexes found in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts. The soluble thylakoid lumen space is a narrow and compressed region within the thylakoid membrane which contains 80-200 proteins ...

Evolutionary Patterns of Thylakoid Architecture in Cyanobacteria
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 While photosynthetic processes have become increasingly understood in cyanobacterial model strains, differences in the spatial distribution of thylakoid membranes among various lineages have been largely unexplored.

Arabidopsis EGY1 Is Critical for Chloroplast Development in Leaf Epidermal Guard Cells
Plants, 2021 In Arabidopsis thaliana, the Ethylene-dependent Gravitropism-deficient and Yellow-green 1 (EGY1) gene encodes a thylakoid membrane-localized protease involved in chloroplast development in leaf mesophyll cells. Recently, EGY1 was also found to be crucial
