In addition to photosynthesis, chloroplasts perform a variety of important cellular functions in
the plant cell, which can, for example, regulate plant responses to abiotic and biotic stress …

Several protein homeostasis (proteostasis) pathways safeguard the integrity of thousands of
proteins that localize in plant chloroplasts, the indispensable organelles that perform …

The chloroplast houses photosynthesis in all green plants, and is therefore of fundamental
importance to the viability and productivity of plants, ecosystems, and agriculture …

Posttranslational modifications of proteins are key effectors of enzyme activity, protein
interactions, targeting, and turnover rate, but despite their importance, they are still poorly …

Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is a dynamic balance of protein synthesis and
degradation. Because of the endosymbiotic origin of chloroplasts and the massive transfer of …

Chloroplast, the photosynthetic machinery, converts photoenergy to ATP and NADPH, which
powers the production of carbohydrates from atmospheric CO 2 and H 2 O. It also serves as …

As the organelle of photosynthesis and other important metabolic pathways, chloroplasts
contain up to 70% of leaf proteins with uniquely complex processes in synthesis, import …

Steady-state levels of chloroplast proteins rely on the balance between synthesis and
degradationrates. Thus, the importance of protein-degradation processes in shaping the …

Plastids (including chloroplasts) are subcellular sites for a plethora of proteolytic reactions,
required in functions ranging from protein biogenesis to quality control. Here we show that …

A unique feature of the ATP-dependent ClpP protease of eukaryotic photosynthetic
organisms is that its catalytic subunit ClpP1 is encoded by the chloroplast genome. Attempts …
