  1. 1. PresequenceProtease (PreP), a novel Peptidasome in Mitochondria and Chloroplasts : Localization, Function, Structure and Mechanism of Proteolysis

    Author : Shashi Bhushan; Elzbieta Glaser; Johannes Herrmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Protein import; mitochondria; chloroplasts; PresequenceProtease; Alzheimer; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The information for mitochondrial and chloroplastic protein import and targeting generally resides in the N-terminal part of the protein, called a targeting peptide. The targeting peptide is cleaved off by the organellar processing peptidases after import of a precursor protein. READ MORE

  2. 2. Dual targeting of glutathione reductase to mitochondria and chloroplasts

    Author : Charlotta Rudhe; Elzbieta Glaser; Ralf Bernad Klösgen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dual targeting; mitochondria; chloroplasts; import; Biochemistry; Biokemi;

    Abstract : As a consequence of the presence of both mitochondria and chloroplasts in plant cells there is a higher sorting requirement in a plant cell than that in a non-plant cell. Reflecting this, protein import to mitochondria and chloroplasts has been shown to be highly specific. READ MORE

  3. 3. Dual targeting of proteins to mitochondria and chloroplasts : Characterization of dual targeting peptides and their interaction with organellar receptors

    Author : Erika Spånning; Elzbieta Glaser; Anthony Moore; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Most mitochondrial and chloroplastic proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as precursor proteins with an N-terminal targeting peptide (TP), which directs them to the correct organelle. There is also a group of proteins that are dual targeted to mitochondria and chloroplasts using an ambiguous N-terminal dual targeting peptide (dTP). READ MORE

  4. 4. Dual Targeting of Proteins to Mitochondria and Chloroplasts

    Author : Anna-Karin Berglund; Elzbieta Glaser; Ophry Pines; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : The vast majority of mitochondrial and chloroplastic proteins are nuclear encoded, synthesized in the cytosol and imported into the respective organelle using an N-terminal extension, the targeting peptide (TP). After import into the organelle, the TP is cleaved off and degraded by the Presequence protease (PreP). READ MORE

  5. 5. F F₁-ATPase of plant mitochondria : purification and characterization of the structural and functional properties of the individual subunits

    Author : Beston Hamasur; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Plant leaf cells constitute a unique system in which both mitochondria and chloroplasts are responsible for energy conversion. In both organelles, ATP synthase is responsible for the synthesis of ATP from ADP and Pi in a process coupled to an electron transfer chain. READ MORE
