It shows how a pathogen's effector protein targets the chloroplast protein StFC-II, increasing its levels in chloroplasts and ...

Coding sequences for the majority of chloroplast proteins have been lost, so these proteins are now encoded by the nuclear genome, synthesized in the cytoplasm, and transported from the cytoplasm ...

A groundbreaking study reveals a protein shell in diatoms that enhances their CO2 fixation capabilities, offering new avenues ...

The research addressed the biogenesis of protein complexes in chloroplasts. It focused primarily on the formation of the protein D1, an essential component of photosystem II. The protein is ...

The secrets of photosynthesis have been discovered at the atomic level, shedding important new light on this plant super-power that greened the Earth more than a billion years ago. John Innes ...

Tiny diatoms in the ocean are masters at capturing carbon dioxide from the environment. They fix up to 20 percent of the ...

The membrane that surrounds cells in living organisms is extremely flexible and sensitive. How it protects itself from damage ...

A three-dimensional structure of cpSRP43 provides insights into how plants have adapted the SRP for post-translational targeting of membrane proteins. In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to ...

FAISALABAD: Prof Dr Muhammad Sarwar Khan has assumed the charge of the office of the Vice Chancellor, University ...

So, it is best to localize the proteins that are tolerant to acidic environments or are naturally localized in the human lysosome. Chloroplasts in tobacco leaf tissues store the highest level of ...

Researchers at Forschungszentrum Julich have now used cryo-electron microscopy to uncover intriguing new information. Known from the photosynthetic system of plants, algae, and bacteria, the membrane ...

In cytoplasm, Pi22922 targeted the chloroplast protein StFC-II and inhibited its degradation mediated by E3 ubiquitin ligase CHIP, thereby promoting its accumulation in chloroplasts. Much StFC-II ...
