Eukaryotic cells are most fascinating because of their high degree of compartmentation. This is particularly true for plant cells, due to the presence of chloroplasts, photosynthetic organelles of endosymbiotic origin that can be traced back to a single cyanobacterial ancestor. Plastids are major hubs in the metabolic network of plant cells, their metabolism being heavily intertwined with that of the cytosol and of other organelles. Solute transport across the plastid envelope by metabolite transporters is key to integrating plastid metabolism with that of other cellular compartments. Here, we review the advances in understanding metabolite transport across the plastid envelope membrane.
真核细胞因其高度的区室化而极具吸引力。植物细胞尤其如此，因为存在叶绿体，叶绿体是内共生起源的光合细胞器，其可追溯到单一的蓝细菌祖先。质体是植物细胞代谢网络中的主要枢纽，其代谢与细胞质和其他细胞器的代谢紧密相连。代谢物转运蛋白介导的溶质跨质体包膜运输是将质体代谢与其他细胞区室的代谢整合起来的关键。在此，我们综述了在理解代谢物跨质体包膜膜运输方面取得的进展。
