Chloroplasts of maize leaves differentiate into specific bundle sheath (BS) and mesophyll
(M) types to accommodate C 4 photosynthesis. Chloroplasts contain thylakoid and envelope …

The chloroplast membranes are highly regulated and biological active regions of the living
plant cell, which carry numerous essential proteinaceous components. For example, in the …

Chloroplasts are metabolically important organelles that perform many essential functions
within plant cells. The chloroplasts can be subdivided into six distinct sub-compartments to …

Plant membrane proteins are involved in many different functions according to their location
in the cell. For instance, the chloroplast has two membrane systems, thylakoids and …

OEP7, a 6.7-kDa outer envelope protein of spinach chloroplasts inserts into the outer
envelope of the organelle independent of a classical cleavable targeting signal. The …

Most chloroplastic proteins are encoded in the nucleus, synthesized on cytosolic ribosomes
and subsequently imported into the organelle. In general, proteins destined for the …

The chloroplast inner envelope membrane contains many integral proteins which differ in
the number of α-helices that anchor the protein into the bilayer. For most of these proteins it …

With the completion of the sequencing of the Arabidopsis genome and with the significant
increase in the amount of other plant genome and expressed sequence tags (ESTs) data …

Carefully curated proteomes of the inner envelope membrane, the thylakoid membrane, and
the thylakoid lumen of chloroplasts from Arabidopsis were assembled based on published …

The inner envelope membrane (IEM) of the chloroplast plays crucial roles in forming an
osmotic barrier and controlling metabolite exchange between the organelle and the cytosol …
