Intracellular lipid droplets are utilized for lipid storage and metabolism in organisms as
evolutionarily diverse as animals, fungi, plants, bacteria, and archaea. These lipid droplets …

Photosystem I, an integral membrane and multi-subunit complex, catalyzes the oxidation of
plastocyanin and the reduction of ferredoxin by absorbed light energy. Photosystem I …

While photosynthetic processes have become increasingly understood in cyanobacterial
model strains, differences in the spatial distribution of thylakoid membranes among various …

Quantifying cellular components is a basic and important step for understanding how a cell
works, how it responds to environmental changes, and for re-engineering cells to produce …

Hypothetical chloroplast open reading frames (ycf s) are putative genes in the plastid
genomes of photosynthetic eukaryotes. Many ycf s are also conserved in the genomes of …

Vesicle-inducing protein in plastids 1 (VIPP1) is essential for the biogenesis and
maintenance of thylakoid membranes, which transform light into life. However, it is unknown …

Abstract The Photosystem I (PSI) reaction center in cyanobacteria is comprised of~ 96
chlorophyll (Chl) molecules, including six specialized Chl molecules denoted Chl1A/Chl1B …

The V ipp1 protein is essential in cyanobacteria and chloroplasts for the maintenance of
photosynthetic function and thylakoid membrane architecture. To investigate its mode of …

Phage shock protein A (PspA), which is responsible for maintaining inner membrane
integrity under stress in enterobacteria, and vesicle-inducting protein in plastids 1 (Vipp1) …

The photosynthetic light reaction takes place within the thylakoid membrane system in
cyanobacteria and chloroplasts. Besides its global importance, the biogenesis, maintenance …
