A promiscuous mechanism to phase separate eukaryotic carbon fixation in the green lineage

J. Barrett, M. I. S. Naduthodi, Y. Mao, C. Degut, S. Musial, A. Salter, M. C. Leake, M. J. Plevin, A. J. McCormick, J. N. Blaza, L. Mackinder

The paper identifies a conserved linker protein from Chlorella that can phase separate Rubisco in Chlamydomonas and some plants, enabling cross-species pyrenoid formation.

SAGA1 and SAGA2 promote starch formation around proto-pyrenoids in Arabidopsis chloroplasts

N. Atkinson, R. Stringer, S. R. Mitchell, D. Seung, A. J. McCormick

This study shows that SAGA1 and SAGA2 proteins in Arabidopsis chloroplasts promote the formation of starch structures around proto-pyrenoids, contributing to CO2-concentrating mechanisms.

The role of BST4 in the pyrenoid of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

L. Adler, C. S. Lau, K. M. Shaikh, K. v. Maldegem, A. L. Payne-Dwyer, C. Lefoulon, P. Girr, N. Atkinson, J. Barrett, T. Z. Emrich-Mills, E. Dukic, M. R. Blatt, M. Leake, G. Peltier, C. Spetea, , C. E. Walker

The paper shows BST4 in Chlamydomonas is an ion channel involved in thylakoid lumenal pH regulation, not a tethering protein for pyrenoid tubules.

Condensation of Rubisco into a proto-pyrenoid in higher plant chloroplasts

N. Atkinson, Y. Mao, K. X. Chan, A. J. McCormick

This study shows that introducing algal EPYC1 and hybrid Rubisco into Arabidopsis chloroplasts leads to phase-separated Rubisco condensates with pyrenoid-like properties, enhancing CO2 fixation without impairing growth.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) root system architecture adaptation to initial soil moisture improves seed development in dry-down conditions

T. Bontpart, I. Robertson, V. Giuffrida, C. Concha, L. C. T. Scorza, A. J. McCormick, A. Fikre, S. A. Tsaftaris, P. W. Doerner

This study shows how chickpea root system architecture adapts to initial soil moisture, improving seed development under drought conditions.
