Plastid proteins that are encoded by the nuclear genome and synthesized in the cytosol undergo posttranslational targeting to plastids. Ankyrin repeat protein 2A (AKR2A) and AKR2B were recently shown ...

A research group led by Osaka University identifies a new type of protein from the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae associated with the import of chloroplast protein precursors and the mechanism of ...

Chloroplasts are the ancestral members of a structurally diverse family of organelles known as plastids (which also includes proplastids, amyloplasts and chromoplasts). Plastids are responsible for ...

Analysis: This statement is FALSE. Chloroplasts are primarily found in plants and algae. They are not present in animals, ...

Chloroplasts are essential organelles that not only facilitate photosynthesis but also host a variety of metabolic processes. A hallmark of chloroplast biogenesis is the import of thousands of nucleus ...
