The Arabidopsis thaliana protein ARTEMIS is an integral component of the chloroplast inner
envelope required for chloroplast division. It contains a domain of significant homology to …

Oxa1p is a mitochondrial inner membrane protein that is mainly required for the
insertion/assembly of complex IV and ATP synthase and is functionally conserved in yeasts …

Abstract Members of the Alb3/Oxa1/YidC protein family function as insertases in
chloroplasts, mitochondria, and bacteria. Due to independent gene duplications, all …

Components of some protein complexes present in the inner membrane of mitochondria are
encoded in both nuclear and mitochondrial genomes, and correct sorting and assembly of …

The biogenesis of membrane oligomeric complexes is an intricate process that requires the
insertion and assembly of transmembrane (TM) domains into the lipid bilayer. The Oxa1p …

During evolution, eukaryotic cells have acquired subcellular compartments, such as nuclei,
peroxisomes, mitochondria, and, in the case of plant cells, chloroplasts, this …

Oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) is the major process to generate ATP in most
eukaryotes. The site of this process is the mitochondrion. Structural basis for OXPHOS is the …

Mitochondria are believed to originate from an endosymbiotic α-proteobacterial ancestor
(Andersson and Kurland, 1999; Gray et al., 1999; Lang et al., 1999). Most of the bacterial …

Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the power stations in the plant cell. They are often
referred to as semi-autonomous organelles because they have retained a genome after the …

Subunit 2 of cytochrome c oxidase (Cox2) is a mitochondrial-encoded protein in most
organisms. In soybean Glycine max a second Cox2 gene was identified in the nucleus …
