A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

FtsH4 protease controls biogenesis of the PSII complex by dual regulation of high light-inducible proteins

open access: yesPlant Communications, 2023
FtsH proteases are membrane-embedded proteolytic complexes important for protein quality control and regulation of various physiological processes in bacteria, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.

Coral Holobionts Possess Distinct Lipid Profiles That May Be Shaped by Symbiodiniaceae Taxonomy

open access: yesMarine 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

A multifaceted analysis reveals two distinct phases of chloroplast biogenesis during de-etiolation in Arabidopsis

open access: yeseLife, 2021
Light triggers chloroplast differentiation whereby the etioplast transforms into a photosynthesizing chloroplast and the thylakoid rapidly emerges. However, the sequence of events during chloroplast differentiation remains poorly understood. Using Serial

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 ...

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 ...

Light induced changes in protein expression and uniform regulation of transcription in the thylakoid lumen of Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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.

The impact of physiologically relevant temperatures on physical properties of thylakoid membranes: a molecular dynamics study

open access: yesPhotosynthetica, 2023
Thylakoid membranes are energy-converting membranes with a unique lipid composition. Though the membranes are primarily composed of proteins, their photosynthetic function is strongly influenced by the lipid constituents.
