Chloroplast membrane proteins were solubilized with 1% Triton X-100 in import buffer. The soluble fraction was obtained by centrifugation at 10,000g for 30 min and proteins were precipitated with ...

Our understanding of how proteins are targeted to the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts has been improved with the identification of a specific soluble sorting factor. Chloroplasts ...

Specialized transporters in the outer chloroplast membrane must convey these proteins into the chloroplast. A paper in Science Advances by Gyeong Mee Yoon, associate professor of botany and plant ...

and transported across the outer and inner envelope membranes of chloroplasts. “From C. merolae, we found a new targeting factor associated with the recognition of chloroplast preproteins ...

They modified the mutant plant by adding various genetically manipulated variants of a protein of the galactolipid production system, which is located on the outer membrane of the chloroplast.

For this purpose, its outer membrane has protein import channels ... Because mitochondria and the photosynthetic chloroplasts are derived from joint bacterial ancestors, the study not only ...

A research team in Munich has now discovered that the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts could play a key role in this process. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and use the sun and water to turn ...

In the current work, the researchers used photosynthetic membranes from chloroplasts in spinach to convert light into energy for running these reactions. The researchers first showed that exposing ...

Outer layers of cell Cell membrane, surrounded by cell wall in ... cell organelles include mitochondria, ribosomes and chloroplasts in plants. Cytoplasm, ribosomes present; there are no ...

Specialized transporters in the outer chloroplast membrane must convey these proteins into the chloroplast. Yoon and Chien identified a crucial amino acid of the transporter that, when modified ...
