DnaK3 Is Involved in Biogenesis and/or Maintenance of Thylakoid Membrane Protein Complexes in the Cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

Life, 2020
DnaK3, a highly conserved cyanobacterial chaperone of the Hsp70 family, binds to cyanobacterial thylakoid membranes, and an involvement of DnaK3 in the biogenesis of thylakoid membranes has been suggested. As shown here, light triggers synthesis of DnaK3

ZmTH1 Is Vital for Healthy Plant Growth and Promotes Cold/Drought Tolerance by Regulating Thiamin Diphosphate‐Dependent Metabolisms in Maize

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vitamin B1 (VB1) plays a crucial role in sustaining plant health and enabling adaptive responses to environmental stress. The complex maize genome implies a sophisticated VB1 synthesis pathway, with the mechanisms by which VB1 benefits plants remaining elusive.

Plant Lipid Droplets and Derived Lipidic Nano‐Assemblies: Structure, Biogenesis and Pharmaceutical Applications

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lipid droplets (LDs) serve as the primary storage site for neutral lipids in plant cells, with growing evidence supporting many additional biological roles, such as in lipid homeostasis, signalling, trafficking, inflammatory responses and inter‐organelle communication.

Fast Diffusion of the Unassembled PetC1-GFP Protein in the Cyanobacterial Thylakoid Membrane

Life, 2020
Biological membranes were originally described as a fluid mosaic with uniform distribution of proteins and lipids. Later, heterogeneous membrane areas were found in many membrane systems including cyanobacterial thylakoids.

Heat Shock Transcription Factor OsHsfc1a Enhances Rice Seedling Thermotolerance by Regulating OsMFT1 and Preserving Chloroplast Structure Under Heat Stress

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT High‐temperature stress severely threatens rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and productivity, particularly during the seedling stage, making heat tolerance an essential breeding target. In this study, we identified the heat shock transcription factor OsHsfc1a as a positive regulator of thermotolerance in rice seedlings.

Chloroplast PetD protein: evidence for SRP/Alb3-dependent insertion into the thylakoid membrane

BMC Plant Biology, 2017
Background In thylakoid membrane, each monomer of the dimeric complex of cytochrome b 6 f is comprised of eight subunits that are both nucleus- and plastid-encoded. Proper cytochrome b 6 f complex integration into the thylakoid membrane requires numerous

A Chemical Probe for Increasing Leaf Tocopherol Levels by Coordinated Modulation of Biosynthesis, Competition and Storage

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant biofortification with phytonutrients typically relies on metabolic engineering strategies known as ‘push’ (enhancing biosynthetic flux), ‘block’ (inhibiting competing pathways) and ‘pull’ (promoting metabolite storage). Here, we describe a novel synthetic compound, X57, that simultaneously targets biosynthesis, competition and storage to

Feeding spinach thylakoids to rats modulates the gut microbiota, decreases food intake and affects the insulin response

Journal of Nutritional Science, 2013
Thylakoid membranes derived from green leaf chloroplasts affect appetite-regulating hormones, suppress food intake, reduce blood lipids and lead to a decreased body weight in animals and human subjects.

Tobamoviruses CP Proteins Hijack Light‐Induced Protein (NbLIP1) to Promote Viral Replication by Facilitating VRO Formation

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tobamoviruses establish viral replication organelles (VROs) on the host endoplasmic reticulum (ER) for their replication, a process demanding substantial different types of lipids. However, how viruses efficiently transfer these lipids from other compartments like chloroplasts remains incompletely understood.
