A Novel Prokaryote-Type ECF/ABC Transporter Module in Chloroplast Metal Homeostasis

During evolution, chloroplasts, which originated by endosymbiosis of a prokaryotic ancestor of today’s cyanobacteria with a eukaryotic host cell, were established as the site for photosynthesis. Therefore, chloroplast organelles are loaded with transition metals including iron, copper, and manganese...
