Abstract:Plastoglobule lipid droplets of chloroplasts serve complex roles affecting plant development, stress tolerance and photosynthesis. They harbor a set of approximately 42 proteins that collectively dictate plastoglobule functions. Due to the monolayer structure of plastoglobules which encompass a neutral lipid core, these proteins must associate monotopically on the plastoglobule surface. However, targeting determinants have not been identified for plastoglobule proteins, and the protein-membrane interaction mec… Show more
