Lipid remodeling, defined herein as post‐synthetic structural modifications of membrane
lipids, play crucial roles in regulating the physicochemical properties of cellular membranes …

Glycerolipids constituting the matrix of photosynthetic membranes, from cyanobacteria to
chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells, comprise monogalactosyldiacylglycerol …

Background and Aims Cell membranes are major targets of environmental stresses. Lipids
are important membrane components, and changes in their composition may help to …

The Fourth Edition of the Handbook of Photosynthesis offers a unique and comprehensive
collection of topics in the field of photosynthesis, serving as an invaluable resource in this …

Most chloroplast proteins are encoded in the nucleus and synthesized on free, cytosolic
ribosomes in precursor form. Each precursor has an amino‐terminal extension called a …

It is thought that two to three thousand different proteins are targeted to the chloroplast, and
the 'transit peptides' that act as chloroplast targeting sequences are probably the largest …

The lipid monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGD) is a major structural component of
photosynthetic membranes in chloroplasts. Its formation is catalyzed by the enzyme MGD …

Biologically active proteins without stable ordered structure (ie, intrinsically disordered
proteins) are attracting increased attention. Functional repertoires of ordered and disordered …

Transit peptides are N-terminal extensions that facilitate the targeting and translocation of
cytosolically synthesized precursors into plastids via a post-translational mechanism. With …

The proper distribution of proteins between the cytosol and various membrane-bound
compartments is crucial for the functionality of eukaryotic cells. This requires the cooperation …
