Mitochondrial protein import is a critical process underpinning mitochondrial biogenesis and cellular homeostasis. With the vast majority of mitochondrial proteins encoded by nuclear DNA and ...

The chloroplast protein import motor plays a pivotal role in biogenesis and homeostasis by driving the translocation of preproteins into chloroplasts. Two groundbreaking studies published in the ...

Chloroplasts are the organelles of green plants in which light energy is transduced into chemical energy, forming ATP and reduced carbon compounds upon which all life depends. The expenditure of this ...

Relatively little is known about the small subset of peroxisomal proteins with predicted protease activity. Here, we report that the peroxisomal LON2 (At5g47040) protease facilitates matrix protein ...
