In 1967, Lynn Margulis (then Lynn Sagan) famously published On the Origin of Mitosing Cells [6] in which she proposed that eukaryotic organelles including mitochondria and chloroplasts evolved from endosymbiotic bacteria, as had been proposed by others in the early 20th century [7]. Although her...
Plants perform two vital functions: photosynthesis, the fixation of solar energy to chemical energy in the form of glucose, which takes place in chloroplasts, and respiration, the use of oxygen and glucose to generate energy for cellular metabolic processes, which takes place in mitochondria. ...
Both in mitochondria and in chloroplasts, the cleaved targeting peptides are finally degraded by the Presequence Protease, PreP. The organellar proteases involved in precursor processing and targeting peptide degradation constitute themselves a quality control system ensuring the correct maturation and ...
mtDNA SNPs and mutations might lead to selective differences in metastatic susceptibility in patient haplogroups and/or organotropism for certain cancer histotypes. To advance these ideas, we have consolidated the current
Why Do Plants Need Both Chloroplasts and Mitochondria? Is Mitochondria in Plant and Animal Cells? Lesson SummaryMitochondria in Plant Cells: Overview The mitochondria is a membrane-bound organelle that is the site of energy production in cells. Mitochondria are enclosed by two membranes and are only...
mitochondria and chloroplasts have frequently been observed to spatially colocalize—a feature that has, among other considerations, been hypothesized to be important to ensure energy-use efficiency16,19,20. The direct interaction between mitochondrial and chloroplast outer membranes has been demonstrated ...

(1KP)Project and publicly available complete genomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts of Rhodophyta,We have found that red algae divided into three clades of orders,Florideophyceae,Bangiophyceae,and Cyanidiophyceae.Taxonomy resolution for Class Florideophyceae showed that Order Gigartinales was ...
However, there is a group of proteins that are dually targeted to mitochondria and chloroplasts using an ambiguous N-terminal dual targeting peptide (dTP). Here, we have investigated pattern properties of import determinants of organelle-specific TPs and dTPs combining mathematical multivariate data ...
