In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to target both chloroplast- and nuclear-encoded proteins to the thylakoid membranes that house the photosynthetic machinery (Fig. 1). The first SRP ...

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for the initial steps of photosynthesis that convert solar energy into chemical energy, ultimately powering almost all life on earth. The heterogeneous ...

Vipp1 is particularly important, as it is involved in the formation and maintenance of thylakoid membranes—membranes in the chloroplasts of plant cells where the light reaction of photosynthesis ...

It found 30 sequences associated with biological processes (typically carbohydrate transport), 35 with cellular components (usually mapped to the plasma membrane-derived thylakoid membrane), and ...
