A bipartite chromatophore transit peptide and N-terminal processing of protein in the Paulinella chromatophore

The study identifies a bipartite N-terminal targeting sequence in proteins imported into the Paulinella chromatophore, with only the N-terminal third being cleaved during import.

The puzzle of metabolite exchange and identification of putative octotrico peptide repeat expression regulators in the nascent photosynthetic organelles of Paulinella chromatophora

This paper identifies novel chromatophore-targeted proteins in Paulinella chromatophora that may regulate gene expression and membrane permeability, revealing unique mechanisms of nuclear control over the organelle.
