TLDR
An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS‐PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome‐wide sequence data.Abstract:
We present a neural network based method (ChloroP) for identifying chloroplast transit peptides and their cleavage sites. Using cross-validation, 88% of the sequences in our homology reduced training set were correctly classified as transit peptides or nontransit peptides. This performance level is well above that of the publicly available chloroplast localization predictor PSORT. Cleavage sites are predicted using a scoring matrix derived by an automatic motif-finding algorithm. Approximately 60% of the known cleavage sites in our sequence collection were predicted to within +/-2 residues from the cleavage sites given in SWISS-PROT. An analysis of 715 Arabidopsis thaliana sequences from SWISS-PROT suggests that the ChloroP method should be useful for the identification of putative transit peptides in genome-wide sequence data. The ChloroP predictor is available as a web-server at http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/ChloroP/.read more

Subunit Composition of NDH-1 Complexes of Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803: IDENTIFICATION OF TWO NEW ndh GENE PRODUCTS WITH NUCLEAR-ENCODED HOMOLOGUES IN THE CHLOROPLAST Ndh COMPLEX
TL;DR: Cyanobacteria contain several genes, annotated ndh, whose products show sequence similarities to subunits found in complex I (NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase) of eubacteria and mitochondria, but it is still unclear whether the cyanobacterial ndh gene products actually form a single large protein complex or exist as smaller independent complexes.

TL;DR: In vitro, it is demonstrated in vitro that CrTE must functionally interact with CrACP to release fatty acids, while TEs of vascular plants show no mechanistic crosslinking to CrACP.

J-Domain Protein CDJ2 and HSP70B Are a Plastidic Chaperone Pair That Interacts with Vesicle-Inducing Protein in Plastids 1
Cuimin Liu,Felix Willmund,Julian P. Whitelegge,Susan Hawat,Bettina Knapp,Mukesh Lodha,Michael Schroda +6 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that CDJ2, presumably via coiled-coil interactions, binds to VIPP1 and presents it to HSP70B in the ATP state, and point to a role for the H SP70B/CDJ2 chaperone pair in this process.

TL;DR: Environmentally induced protein phosphorylation at the interface of PSII core and the associated antenna proteins, particularly multiple differential phosphorylations of CP29 linker protein, suggests the mechanisms for control of photosynthetic state transitions and for LHCII uncoupling from PSII under high light stress to allow thermal energy dissipation.

MFP1 is a thylakoid-associated, nucleoid-binding protein with a coiled-coil structure.
TL;DR: The further characterization of the coiled-coil DNA-binding protein MFP1 as a protein associated with nucleoids and with the thylakoid membranes in mature chloroplasts is presented, suggesting a function for M FP1 at the interface between chloroplast nucleoid and the developing thylAKoid membrane system.

Identification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic signal peptides and prediction of their cleavage sites.
TL;DR: A new method for the identification of signal peptides and their cleavage sites based on neural networks trained on separate sets of prokaryotic and eukaryotic sequence that performs significantly better than previous prediction schemes and can easily be applied on genome-wide data sets.
