The translocase of the outer membrane (TOM) complex is the main entry gate used by most nucleus-encoded mitochondrial precursor proteins. Presequence-carrying preproteins are then imported by the ...

Their results show that the basic units of the photosynthetic membranes of the chloroplasts shrink by only 1 nm following water loss, but recover 18 hours after rewatering. Drought and evolution ...

The pleura (plural: pleurae) is a two-layered membrane that covers the lung. Between the layers is a small amount of lubricating fluid, known as pleural fluid, which helps cushion the lung and reduce ...

Chloroplast division involves the coordination of protein complexes from the ... The mechanism of the interaction between PDV1 and PARC6 is unclear before this study. Z1, FtsZ1; Z2, FtsZ2; OEM, outer ...

Most plastid proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome, translated in the cytoplasm, and then transported into plastids through translocons at the outer- and inner-envelope membranes (TOC and TIC, ...

2017). In addition, chloroplasts are much larger than RCBs and typical autophagosome, implying they may be delivered enroute to the vacuole through distinct mechanisms. Compared with yeast, mechanisms ...

The cell suspensions prepared as above were incubated at RT for 15 min and the supernatant was collected after pelleting the cells by centrifugation at 20 000 g for 5 min at RT. The ...
