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

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.

Endosymbiotic ratchet accelerates divergence after organelle origin
BioEssays, Volume 45, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Primary endosymbiosis gave rise to mitochondria and plastids. The proximate impacts of organelle origin on lineage evolution have not been addressed at the population level. Using data from the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella, we hypothesize that primary endosymbiosis accelerates lineage divergence, a process we refer to as the endosymbiotic ratchet ...

Photosynthetic electron transport system promotes synthesis of Au-nanoparticles. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In this communication, a novel, green, efficient and economically viable light mediated protocol for generation of Au-nanoparticles using most vital organelle, chloroplasts, of the plant system is portrayed.

Resonant Tunneling in Natural Photosynthetic Systems [PDF]
, 2021 The high internal quantum efficiency observed in higher plants remains an outstanding problem in understanding photosynthesis. Several approaches such as quantum entanglement and quantum coherence have been explored. However, none has yet drawn an analogy between superlattices and the geometrical structure of granal thylakoids in leaves. In this paper,

The Role of Phosphorylation Dynamics of CURVATURE THYLAKOID 1B in Plant Thylakoid Membranes [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 Thylakoid membranes in land plant chloroplasts are organized into appressed and nonappressed membranes, which contribute to the control of energy distribution between the two photosystems (PSI and PSII) from the associated light-harvesting complexes (LHCs).

Thylakoid Protein Phosphorylation in Chloroplasts
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2021 Abstract Because of their abundance and extensive phosphorylation, numerous thylakoid proteins stand out amongst the phosphoproteins of plants and algae. In particular, subunits of light-harvesting complex II (LHCII) and of photosystem II (PSII) are dynamically phosphorylated and dephosphorylated in response to light conditions and ...

An Imported Thylakoid Protein Accumulates in the Stroma When Insertion into Thylakoids is Inhibited [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1989 The light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b protein (LHCP) is synthesized in the cytosol as a precursor (pLHCP) that is imported into chloroplasts and assembled into thylakoid membranes. Under appropriate conditions, either pLHCP or LHCP will integrate into isolated thylakoids.
