Protein sorting in complex plastids.

摘要: Taming a cyanobacterium in pivitol event of endosymbiosis brought photosynthesis to eukaryotes, and gave rise the plastids found glaucophytes, red green algae, descendants latter, plants. Ultrastructural as well molecular research over last two decades has demonstrated that have enjoyed surprising lateral mobility across tree life. Numerous independent secondary tertiary led spread into variety of, up point, non-photosynthetic lineages. Happily eating subsequently domesticating one another protists conquered wide ecological niches. The elaborate evolution secondary, or complex, is reflected numerous membranes bound them (three four compared primary plastids). Gene transfer host nucleus hallmark provides centralized cellular control. Here we review how these proteins find their way back stroma organelle describe advances understanding mechanisms allow protein translocation membranes.
