Intracellular lipid droplets are utilized for lipid storage and metabolism in organisms as
evolutionarily diverse as animals, fungi, plants, bacteria, and archaea. These lipid droplets …

The (local) curvature of cellular membranes acts as a driving force for the targeting of
membrane-associated proteins to specific membrane domains, as well as a sorting …

In the cytosol of plant cells vesicle transport occurs via secretory pathways among the
endoplasmic reticulum network, Golgi bodies, secretory granules, endosome, and plasma …

Reprogramming metabolism, in addition to modifying the structure and function of the
photosynthetic machinery, is crucial for plant acclimation to changing light conditions. One of …

Photosynthesis occurs in thylakoids, a highly specialized membrane system. In the
cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp PCC 6803 (hereafter Synechocystis 6803), the thylakoids …

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic cytosolic aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are essentially
known for their conventional function of generating the full set of aminoacyl-tRNA species …

Protein scaffolding is a useful strategy for controlling the spatial arrangement of cellular
components via protein–protein interactions. Protein scaffolding has primarily been used to …

tRNAs are charged with cognate amino acids by aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) and
subsequently delivered to the ribosome to be used as substrates for gene translation …

Thylakoid membranes are far from being homogeneous in composition. On the contrary,
compositional heterogeneity of lipid and protein content is well known to exist in these …

In organisms performing oxygenic photosynthesis, the thylakoid membrane harbors all
pigment-protein complexes of the light-dependent photosynthetic reactions, ie photosystems …
