Cyanobacteria carry out oxygenic photosynthesis and share many features with chloroplasts, including thylakoid membranes, which are mainly composed of membrane lipids and protein complexes that mediate photosynthetic electron transport. Although the functions of the various thylakoid protein complexes have been well characterized, the details underlying the biogenesis of thylakoid membranes remain unclear. Galactolipids are the major constituents of the thylakoid membrane system, and all the genes involved in galactolipid biosynthesis were recently identified. In this chapter, I summarize recent advances in our understanding of the factors involved in thylakoid development, including regulatory proteins and enzymes that mediate lipid biosynthesis.
蓝细菌进行产氧光合作用，与叶绿体有许多共同特征，包括类囊体膜，其主要由膜脂和介导光合电子传递的蛋白质复合物组成。尽管各种类囊体蛋白质复合物的功能已得到充分表征，但类囊体膜生物发生的具体细节仍不清楚。半乳糖脂是类囊体膜系统的主要成分，最近已鉴定出所有参与半乳糖脂生物合成的基因。在本章中，我总结了我们对参与类囊体发育的因素的最新认识，包括介导脂质生物合成的调节蛋白和酶。
