The Origins of ATP Dependence in Biological Nitrogen Fixation

D. Harris, H. Rucker, A. Garcia, Z.-Y. Yang, S. Chang, H. Feinsilber, B. Kacar, L. Seefeldt

This study experimentally reconstructs an ancestral nitrogenase enzyme and shows it strictly requires ATP hydrolysis for N2 reduction, decoupling cofactor selection from environmental availability.

Gene duplications and phylogenomic conflict underlie major pulses of phenotypic evolution in gymnosperms

G. W. Stull, X.-J. Qu, C. Parins-Fukuchi, Y.-Y. Yang, J.-B. Yang, Z.-Y. Yang, Y. Hu, H. Ma, P. S. Soltis, D. E. Soltis, D.-Z. Li, S. A. Smith, T.-S. Yi

This study links genomic changes like WGD and gene duplication to phenotypic innovation and diversification in gymnosperms, showing ecological factors also drive diversification after angiosperms.
