Abstract excerpt
Despite the growing interest in basic research on Euglena gracilis and its importance in bioproduction, several key questions regarding its cell biology remain unanswered. One of them concerns the mechanism of protein import into its secondary chloroplasts, which are derived from a green alga. In this study, we have proved the essentiality of 2 rhomboid pseudoproteases, DerL-1 and DerL-2, which are predicted to...
