Araújo; Adriano Nunes-Nesi; Jaume Flexas Besides stomata, the photosynthetic CO 2 pathway also involves the transport of CO 2 from the sub-stomatal air spaces inside to the carboxylation sites in the chloroplast...

.... In recent years, cryo-ET has contributed significantly to our understanding of the molecular organization of mitochondria and chloroplasts. The present mini-review first describes the technique of cryo-ET and then discusses its role in membrane bioenergetics specifically in chloroplasts and mitochondrial...

...John E. Walker The ATP synthases are multiprotein complexes found in the energy-transducing membranes of bacteria, chloroplasts and mitochondria. They employ a transmembrane protonmotive force, Δ p , as a source of energy to drive a mechanical rotary mechanism that leads to the chemical synthesis...

...Zhen Wang; Christoph Benning Plant chloroplasts contain an intricate photosynthetic membrane system, the thylakoids, and are surrounded by two envelope membranes at which thylakoid lipids are assembled. The glycoglycerolipids mono- and digalactosyldiacylglycerol, and sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol...

... by photosynthesis. Lipid biosynthetic enzymes of different subcellular compartments participate in the biogenesis of the thylakoid membrane system. This process requires the extensive exchange of lipid precursors between the chloroplast and the ER (endoplasmic reticulum). The underlying lipid trafficking phenomena...

...A. Di Cola; E. Klostermann; C. Robinson Numerous proteins are transported into or across the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. To date, two major pathways have been identified for the transport of luminal proteins (the Sec- and Tat-dependent pathways) and it is now clear that these protein...

...T. Nakamura; G. Schuster; M. Sugiura; M. Sugita Chloroplast gene expression is mainly regulated at the post-transcriptional level by numerous nuclear-encoded RNA-binding protein factors. In the present study, we focus on two RNA-binding proteins: cpRNP (chloroplast ribonucleoprotein) and PPR...

...A. Manuell; M.V. Beligni; K. Yamaguchi; S.P. Mayfield Chloroplast gene expression is primarily controlled during the translation of plastid mRNAs into proteins, and genetic studies have identified cis -acting RNA elements and trans -acting protein factors required for chloroplast translation...

Goldschmidt-Clermont Assembly of the PSI (photosystem I) complex in eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms depends on the concerted interactions of the nuclear and chloroplast genetic systems. We have identified several nucleus...

...Z. Adam; O. Ostersetzer To study protein degradation in thylakoid membranes we identified, characterized and cloned thylakoid proteases, and then linked them to known proteolytic processes. Several families of chloroplast proteases were identified and characterized to different extents. FtsH...
