The vesicle inducing protein in plastids (VIPP1) is an essential protein for the biogenesis of thylakoids in modern cyanobacteria, algae, and plants. Although its exact function is still not clear, recent work has provided important hints to its mode of action. We believe that these data are consistent with a structural role of VIPP1 within thylakoid centers, which are considered as sites from which thylakoid membranes emerge and at which the biogenesis at least of photosystem II is thought to occur. Here we present a model that may serve as starting point for future research.
质体囊泡诱导蛋白（VIPP1）是现代蓝藻、藻类和植物中类囊体生物发生所必需的一种蛋白质。虽然其确切功能尚不清楚，但最近的工作为其作用模式提供了重要线索。我们认为这些数据与 VIPP1 在类囊体中心的结构作用一致，类囊体中心被认为是类囊体膜出现的部位，并且至少认为光合作用系统 II 的生物发生发生在该部位。在此，我们提出了一个可能作为未来研究起点的模型。
