Plastid envelope proteins from the Arabidopsis nuclear genome were predicted using
computational methods. Selection criteria were: first, to find proteins with NH2-terminal …

Photosynthesis is a well-known process that has been intensively investigated, but less is
known about the biogenesis of the thylakoid membrane that harbors the photosynthetic …

The inner envelope membrane (IEM) of the chloroplast plays key roles in controlling
metabolite transport between the organelle and cytoplasm and is a major site of lipid and …

Peripheral vesicles in plastids have been observed repeatedly, primarily in proplastids and
developing chloroplasts, in which they are suggested to function in thylakoid biogenesis …

Sub-cellular proteomics has proven to be a powerful approach to link the information
contained in sequenced genomes from eukaryotic cells to the functional knowledge …

Highlights•Chloroplasts have three membranes, outer/inner envelopes and thylakoid
membranes.•AKR2 coordinates cytosolic sorting and insertion of proteins into outer …

Plastid division is executed by the coordinated action of at least two molecular machineries—
an internal machinery situated on the stromal side of the inner envelope membrane that was …

Contact sites between outer and inner envelope membranes of isolated chloroplasts have
been studied at the ultrastructural level by two different electron microscopical methods, ie …

Recent research in proteomics of the higher plant chloroplast has achieved considerable
progress and added to our knowledge of lumenal chloroplast proteins. This work shows that …

Chloroplast envelope quinone oxidoreductase (ceQORH) is an inner plastid envelope
protein that is synthesized without cleavable chloroplast transit sequence for import. In the …
