Our research focuses on the biogenesis and operation of chloroplasts (and other plastids) in plants. Particular areas of interest are the import into chloroplasts of nucleus-encoded proteins by TOC and TIC, and ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis via CHLORAD.
Check out our new review of Cdc48-dependent proteolysis at the ER, mitochondria and chloroplasts, now published in @natcomms.nature.com: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
🧪Researcher Spotlight: Meet Anne @lau-anne.bsky.social, DPhil student investigating the role of CDC48 adaptor proteins in the CHLORAD pathway, and Nic @nic-smdt.bsky.social, visiting student from Heidelberg, assisting Anne studying the roles of specific TIC components in chloroplast protein import.
Yesterday we said goodbye to Mudassar, a visiting postdoctoral researcher in the Jarvis Group studying the role of TOC75 in TOC complex assembly. Wishing you the very best in your future endeavours!
Celebrating our colleague, Weifeng Zhang today who received the Star in Plants Award from the Molecular Plant Biology Section of @biology.ox.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk for his contributions to research on CHLORAD! Congratulations, Weifeng!

Assembly of two functionally-distinct protein import complexes in the outer membrane of plant chloroplasts - Nature Communications
Chloroplasts import thousands of nucleus-encoded proteins via multiprotein translocons. The authors elucidate the assembly and molecular architecture of the outer-membrane TOC translocon (the import “...
