Two envelope membranes delimit plastids, the defining organelles of plant cells. The inner
and outer envelope membranes are unique in their protein and lipid composition. Several …

The development of chloroplasts and the integration of their function within a plant cell rely
on the presence of a complex biochemical machinery located within their limiting envelope …

Chloroplasts are bounded by a pair of outer membranes, the envelope, that is the only
permanent membrane structure of the different types of plastids. Chloroplasts have had a …

Organelles are surrounded by membranes with a distinct lipid and protein composition.
While it is well established that lipids affect protein functioning and vice versa, it has been …

High-throughput protein localization studies require multiple strategies. Mass spectrometric
analysis of defined cellular fractions is one of the complementary approaches to a diverse …

Most organisms on Earth use glucose, a photosynthetic product, as energy source. The
chloroplast, the home of photosynthesis, is the most representative and characteristic …

Proteomics is a very powerful approach to link the information contained in sequenced
genomes, like Arabidopsis, to the functional knowledge provided by studies of plant cell …

Chloroplasts are structurally complex organelles containing~ 2000–3000 proteins. They are
delimited by a double membrane system or envelope, have an inner aqueous compartment …

Protein profiles of inner (IE) and outer (OE) chloroplast envelope membrane preparations
from pea were studied using shotgun nLC–MS/MS and two-dimensional electrophoresis …

The chloroplast is a major plant cell organelle that fulfills essential metabolic and
biosynthetic functions. Located at the interface between the chloroplast and other cell …
