Description:
The photosynthetic apparatus in plant cells is associated with membranes of the thylakoids within the chloroplast and is embedded into a highly specialized lipid matrix. Diacylglycerol galactolipids are common in thylakoid membranes but are excluded from all others. Isolation of the gene DGD1, encoding a galactosyltransferase-like protein, now provides insights into assembly of the thylakoid lipid matrix and subcellular lipid trafficking in Arabidopsis thaliana.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Dormann, P -- Balbo, I -- Benning, C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1999 Jun 25;284(5423):2181-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Biochemistry, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI 48824, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10381884" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
