Hierarchal order in the formation of chloroplast division machinery in the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae
Chloroplasts have evolved from a cyanobacterial endosymbiont and multiply by dividing. Chloroplast division is performed by constriction of the ring-like protein complex (the PD machinery), which forms at the division site. The PD machinery is composed of cyanobacteria-descended components such as F...
