Mechanisms of Lipid Transport Involved in Organelle Biogenesis in Plant Cells

Benning, Christoph·2009·Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology

Abstract

Chloroplasts are the defining organelle of photoautotrophic plant cells. Photosynthetic light reactions and electron transport are the functions of an elaborate thylakoid membrane system inside chloroplasts. The lipid composition of photosynthetic membranes is characterized by a substantial fraction of nonphosphorous galactoglycerolipids reflecting the need of sessile plants to conserve phosphorus. Lipid transport and assembly of glycerolipids play an essential role in the biogenesis of the photosynthetic apparatus in developing chloroplasts. During chloroplast biogenesis, fatty acids are synthesized in the plastid and are exported to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they are incorporated into membrane lipids. Alternatively, lipids can also be assembled de novo at the inner envelope membrane of plastids in many plants. A rich repertoire of lipid exchange mechanisms involving the thylakoid membranes, the chloroplast inner and outer envelope membranes, and the endoplasmic reticulum is emerging. Studies of thylakoid biogenesis provide new insights into the general mechanisms of intermembrane lipid transfer.

    “Oleic or palmitic acids are exported from the plastid, activated to acyl-CoAs, assembled into phosphatidic acid (PtdOH) at the ER, converted to PtdCho, and then diversified by acyl desaturation into other molecular species (Browse & Somerville 1991, Ohlrogge & Browse 1995).”

    “…a prominent group of photosynthetic bacteria, the cyanobacteria, their cell membrane lipid composition resembles that of plant chloroplast thylakoids, supporting the generally accepted hypothesis that plant chloroplasts evolved from endosymbiotic ancestral cyanobacteria (Reyes-Prieto et al. 2007).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
