Within chloroplasts, proteases play a crucial role in maintaining protein quality and regulating various functions, particularly under stress conditions. Recent research has focused on ...

Chloroplasts are essential organelles in plant cells responsible for photosynthesis and other vital functions. A significant aspect of chloroplast function is the import of proteins encoded by the ...

Hungarian researchers at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and the HUN-REN Center for Energy Research have shown that the leaves ...

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

PDV1 was thought to work corporately with PDV2 to recruit ARC5 to the chloroplast division site in the cytosol. However, we found that the major role of PDV1 is to interact with and regulate the ...

Red algal chloroplasts stayed active in hamster cells for 48 hours A new technique enables chloroplast integration into animal cells Study offers potential for photosynthesis in non-plant organisms ...

Executive function describes a set of cognitive processes and mental skills that help an individual plan, monitor, and successfully execute their goals. The “executive functions,” as they’re ...

Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the ...

There also appeared to be a connection between viral replication and plastid health, with stronger downregulation of genes needed for chloroplast functions and integrity and increased synergism ...

Scientists recreated the origins of one of life's most important partnerships, uncovering how symbiotic relationships can ...

Multiple unique moonlighting functions have been reported for human GS which will be reviewed here ... (41) This phytoplasma secretes an effector protein, SRP1 (Secreted ROLP Protein 1), which ...
