Biogenesis and origin of thylakoid membranes

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research, 2001
Thylakoids are photosynthetically active membranes found in Cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. It is likely that they originated in photosynthetic bacteria, probably in close connection to the occurrence of photosystem II and oxygenic photosynthesis. In higher plants, chloroplasts develop from undifferentiated proplastids.

Mimicking a Light‐Harvesting Complex to Accelerate Photooxidation in Asymmetric Lipid Membrane Nanoreactors

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Biomimetic liposome nanoreactors mimicking natural light‐harvesting complexes enable efficient photooxidation of NADH. Membrane‐anchored fluorescein transfers energy via FRET to membrane anchored eosin Y, oxidizing NADH. While symmetric membranes show little improvement, asymmetric chromophore distribution enhances photooxidation rates by up to 27 ...

Leveraging target enrichment and genome skimming (Hyb‐Seq) of herbarium collections to unlock timber DNA barcoding

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise DNA barcoding for timber species identification requires comprehensive reference datasets, informative DNA barcodes, and cost‐effective protocols. We developed a workflow leveraging Hyb‐Seq (target capture sequencing and genome skimming) to address these challenges, and we tested it on four genera from the mahogany family (Meliaceae ...

Thylakoid membrane function in heterocysts

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 2016
Multicellular cyanobacteria form different cell types in response to environmental stimuli. Under nitrogen limiting conditions a fraction of the vegetative cells in the filament differentiate into heterocysts. Heterocysts are specialized in atmospheric nitrogen fixation and differentiation involves drastic morphological changes on the cellular level ...

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Electron Microscopy Views of Dimorphic Chloroplasts in C4 Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
C4 plants enhance photosynthesis efficiency by concentrating CO2 to the site of Rubisco action. Chloroplasts in C4 plants exhibit structural dimorphism because thylakoid architectures vary depending on energy requirements. Advances in electron microscopy

Protein Targeting Into the Thylakoid Membrane Through Different Pathways

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022
In higher plants, chloroplasts are essential semi-autonomous organelles with complex compartments. As part of these sub-organellar compartments, the sheet-like thylakoid membranes contain abundant light-absorbing chlorophylls bound to the light ...
