Insertion of PsaK into the thylakoid membrane in a "Horseshoe" conformation occurs in the absence of signal recognition particle, nucleoside triphosphates, or functional albino3 (2001)

Mant, Alexandra, Woolhead, Cheryl A., Moore, Misty, Henry, Ralph, Robinson, Colin

The photosystem I subunit PsaK spans the thylakoid membrane twice, with the N and C termini both located in the lumen. The insertion mechanism of a thylakoid membrane protein adopting this type of...

Distinct Albino3-dependent and -independent pathways for thylakoid membrane protein insertion (2001)

Woolhead, Cheryl A., Thompson, Simon J., Moore, Misty, Tissier, Christophe, Mant, Alexandra, Rodger, Alison, ...

The homologous proteins Oxa1, YidC, and Alb3 mediate the insertion of membrane proteins in mitochondria, bacteria, and chloroplast thylakoids, respectively. Depletion of YidC in Escherichia coli...

Conformation of a purified "spontaneously" inserting thylakoid membrane protein precursor in aqueous solvent and detergent micelles (2001)

Woolhead, Cheryl A., Mant, Alexandra, Kim, Soo Jung, Robinson, Colin, Rodger, Alison

Subunit W of photosystem II (PsbW) is a single-span thylakoid membrane protein that is synthesized with a cleavable hydrophobic signal peptide and integrated into the thylakoid membrane by an...
