Targeting of proteins to the cell wall of the diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana
Keyword(s):
AbstractDiatoms are unicellular phototrophic organisms with huge ecological impact. Characteristic for these organisms is their peculiar cell wall, which is composed of inorganic and organic components. Cell wall formation is a highly complex and orchestrated process, and in the last years has been studied intensively, also on the molecular level. Here, we review on the cell wall proteins of diatoms, with a focus on the species Thalassiosira pseudonana. We report on the expression patterns of these proteins in synchronized cultures, as well as their modifications and intracellular targeting.
