Microalgae are regarded as promising organisms to develop innovative concepts based on
their photosynthetic capacity that offers more sustainable production than heterotrophic hosts…

The target of rapamycin (TOR) proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, TOR1 and TOR2,
redundantly regulate growth in a rapamycin-sensitive manner. TOR2 additionally regulates …

The target of rapamycin (TOR) is a conserved Ser/Thr kinase that controls cell growth by
activating an array of anabolic processes including protein synthesis, transcription, and …

The vesicle-inducing protein in plastids (VIPP1) was suggested to play a role in thylakoid
membrane formation via membrane vesicles. As this functional assignment is under debate, …

Fatty acids are synthesized in the stroma of plant and algal chloroplasts by the fatty acid
synthase complex. Newly synthesized fatty acids are then used to generate plastidial lipids that …

Autophagy is a catabolic membrane-trafficking process whereby cells recycle cytosolic proteins
and organelles under stress conditions or during development. This degradative process …

All aerobic organisms have developed sophisticated mechanisms to prevent, detect and
respond to cell damage caused by the unavoidable production of reactive oxygen species (ROS…

TOR (target of rapamycin) is a phosphatidylinositol kinase-related protein kinase that controls
cell growth in response to nutrients. Rapamycin is an immunosuppressive and anticancer …

The essential, rapamycin-sensitive TOR kinases regulate a diverse set of cell growth-related
readouts in response to nutrients. Thus, the yeast TOR proteins function as nutrient sensors, …

Plastid protein homeostasis is critical during chloroplast biogenesis and responses to changes
in environmental conditions. Proteases and molecular chaperones involved in plastid …
