Loss of matKRNA editing in seed plant chloroplasts (2009)
Tillich, Michael, Le Sy, Vinh, Schulerowitz, Katrin, Von Haeseler, Arndt, Maier, Uwe G, Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian
Abstract Background RNA editing in chloroplasts of angiosperms proceeds by C-to-U conversions at specific sites. Nuclear-encoded factors are required for the recognition of cis -elements located...
ERAD-Derived Preprotein Transport across the Second Outermost Plastid Membrane of Diatoms (2009)
Hempel, Franziska, Bullmann, Lars, Lau, Julia, Zauner, Stefan, Maier, Uwe G.
The diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum harbors a plastid that is surrounded by four membranes and evolved by way of secondary endosymbiosis. Like land plants, most of its plastid proteins are encoded...
Complex chloroplast RNA metabolism: just debugging the genetic programme? (2008)
Maier, Uwe G, Bozarth, Andrew, Funk, Helena T, Zauner, Stefan, Rensing, Stefan A, Schmitz-Linneweber, Christian, ...
Abstract Background The gene expression system of chloroplasts is far more complex than that of their cyanobacterial progenitor. This gain in complexity affects in particular RNA metabolism,...

Abstract Background Bacteria occur in facultative association and intracellular symbiosis with a diversity of eukaryotic hosts. Recently, we have helped to characterise an intracellular nitrogen...

Frommolt, Ruth, Werner, Sonja, Paulsen, Harald, Goss, Reimund, Wilhelm, Christian, Zauner, Stefan, ...
Chromist algae (stramenopiles, cryptophytes, and haptophytes) are major contributors to marine primary productivity. These eukaryotes acquired their plastid via secondary endosymbiosis, whereby an...
Funk, Helena T, Berg, Sabine, Krupinska, Karin, Maier, Uwe G, Krause, Kirsten
Abstract Background The holoparasitic plant genus Cuscuta comprises species with photosynthetic capacity and functional chloroplasts as well as achlorophyllous and intermediate forms with restricted...
Differential gene transfers and gene duplications in primary and secondary endosymbioses (2006)
Zauner, Stefan, Lockhart, Peter, Stoebe-Maier, Bettina, Gilson, Paul, McFadden, Geoffrey I, Maier, Uwe G
Abstract Background Most genes introduced into phototrophic eukaryotes during the process of endosymbiosis are either lost or relocated into the host nuclear genome. In contrast, gro EL homologues...
The Evolution of Chloroplast RNA Editing (2006)
Tillich, Michael, Lehwark, Pascal, Morton, Brian R., Maier, Uwe G.
RNA editing alters the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule so that it deviates from the sequence of its DNA template. Different RNA-editing systems are found in the major eukaryotic lineages, and...

Geissinger, Oliver, Herlemann, Daniel P. R., Mörschel, Erhard, Maier, Uwe G., Brune, Andreas
Insect intestinal tracts harbor several novel, deep-rooting clades of as-yet-uncultivated bacteria whose biology is typically completely unknown. Here, we report the isolation of the first...
