SChloro: directing Viridiplantae proteins to six chloroplastic sub-compartments [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Motivation: Chloroplasts are organelles found in plants and involved in several important cell processes. Similarly to other compartments in the cell, chloroplasts have an internal structure comprising several sub-compartments, where different proteins ...

Native architecture of the Chlamydomonas chloroplast revealed by in situ cryo-electron tomography

open access: yeseLife, 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 ...

Comparison of the α and β isomeric forms of the detergent n-dodecyl-D-maltoside for solubilizing photosynthetic complexes from pea thylakoid membranes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Mild non-ionic detergents are indispensable in the isolation of intact integral membrane proteins and protein-complexes from biological membranes. Dodecylmaltoside (DM) belongs to this class of detergents being a glucoside-based surfactant with a bulky ...

Quality control of Photosystem II: the mechanisms for avoidance and tolerance of light and heat stresses are closely linked to membrane fluidity of the thylakoids

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
When oxygenic photosynthetic organisms are exposed to excessive light and/or heat, Photosystem II is damaged and electron transport is blocked. In these events, reactive oxygen species, endogenous radicals and lipid peroxidation products generated by ...

Biogenesis of thylakoid membranes

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2015
Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and function, much remains to be learned about how the machinery is put together.

Neglecting acclimation of photosynthesis under drought can cause significant errors in predicting leaf photosynthesis in wheat

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 29, Issue 2, Page 505-521, January 2023., 2023
Our study investigated how photosynthesis and its components acclimate to drought stress (DS) and growth temperature (Tgrowth) in wheat, and examined to what extent ignoring these acclimations would lead to errors in predicting photosynthesis. We found that both diffusional and biochemical parameters of photosynthesis and their thermal sensitivity ...

Charting the native architecture of Chlamydomonas thylakoid membranes with single-molecule precision

open access: yeseLife, 2020
Thylakoid membranes scaffold an assortment of large protein complexes that work together to harness the energy of light. It has been a longstanding challenge to visualize how the intricate thylakoid network organizes these protein complexes to finely ...

Knock-Out of the Genes Coding for the Rieske Protein and the ATP-Synthase δ-Subunit of Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
In Arabidopsis, the nuclear genes PetC and AtpD code for the Rieske protein of the cytochrome b6/f (cyt b6/f) complex and the δ-subunit of the chloroplast ATP synthase (cpATPase), respectively.

Thermoluminescence in Chloroplast Thylakoid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Luminescence occurs in almost all the materials absorbing photon energy and is a phenomenon of light emitting process. There are various types of luminescence, e.g. fluorescence, phosphorescence, delayed luminescence, chemiluminescence and thermoluminescence.

Specific Distribution of Phosphatidylglycerol to Photosystem Complexes in the Thylakoid Membrane

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
The thylakoid membrane is the site of photochemical and electron transport reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. The lipid composition of the thylakoid membrane, with two galactolipids, one sulfolipid, and one phospholipid, is highly conserved among ...
