Abstract

AbstractAt thylakoid membranes the light reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis take place, which are the source of virtually all life on earth. The VIPP1 protein is essential for the biogenesis and maintenance of thylakoid membranes. Recently, the cryo-EM structure of cyanobacterial VIPP1 has been solved and revealed that VIPP1 is a member of the ancient ESCRT-III family of membrane remodeling proteins. Here we discuss how VIPP1 structures relate to its multiple functions.
