The journey of preproteins across the chloroplast membrane systems
Frontiers in Physiology, 2023 The photosynthetic capacity of chloroplasts is vital for autotrophic growth in algae and plants. The origin of the chloroplast has been explained by the endosymbiotic theory that proposes the engulfment of a cyanobacterium by an ancestral eukaryotic cell

Biogenesis of thylakoid membranes
Biochimica 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.

Coral Holobionts Possess Distinct Lipid Profiles That May Be Shaped by Symbiodiniaceae Taxonomy
Marine Drugs, 2022 Symbiotic relationships are very important for corals. Abiotic stressors cause the acclimatization of cell membranes in symbionts, which possess different membrane acclimatization strategies. Membrane stability is determined by a unique lipid composition

Evolution of Thylakoid Structural Diversity
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental BiologyOxygenic photosynthesis evolved billions of years ago, becoming Earth's main source of biologically available carbon and atmospheric oxygen. Since then, phototrophic organisms have diversified from prokaryotic cyanobacteria into several distinct clades of eukaryotic algae and plants through endosymbiosis events.

A brief history of thylakoid biogenesis [PDF]
Open Biology, 2019 The thylakoid membrane network inside chloroplasts harbours the protein complexes that are necessary for the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. Cellular processes for building and altering this membrane network are therefore essential for life on Earth.

Thylakoid Membrane Bioenergetics
, 2018 Oxygenic photosynthesis is a unique and essential photochemical process in which solar energy is used to oxidize water and to form carbohydrates. In this process molecular oxygen is released as a by-product. Thylakoid membranes are specialized photosynthetic electron transfer membranes which represent one of the most elaborate bioenergetic machines ...
