Structural basis for molecular assembly of fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins in a diatom photosystem I supercomplex

The paper determines the cryo-EM structure of a diatom PSI-FCPI supercomplex, identifies FCPI subunits, and reveals protein-protein interactions and evolutionary conservation of binding motifs.

Unraveling the Evolutionary Trajectory of LHCI in Red-Lineage Algae: Conservation, Diversification, and Neolocalization

This study investigates the evolutionary changes in LHCI structures across red-lineage algae, identifying conserved and diversified Lhcr groups and introducing the concept of neolocalization.

Structure of PSI-LHCI from Cyanidium caldarium provides evolutionary insights into conservation and diversity of red-lineage LHCs

The paper determines the structure of PSI-LHCI from Cyanidium caldarium and investigates its evolutionary relationships with other red-lineage LHCs.

Molecular phylogeny of fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c proteins from Chaetoceros gracilis and Lhcq/Lhcf diversity

The paper identifies and classifies 46 FCPs in C. gracilis into five subfamilies, revealing insights into light-harvesting system diversification in red algae.

Coral symbionts exhibit a polycistronic flavodiiron gene leading to functional proteins in photosynthesis

The paper identifies a polycistronic FLV gene in coral symbionts that produces functional proteins involved in photosynthesis, differing from the typical gene pair structure in other organisms.
