Knocking out Nicotiana benthamiana RBCS genes and complementing with algal RBCS2 enables rapid EPYC1 condensate formation, and the kinase KEY1 consolidates condensates to one per chloroplast.

The paper identifies MITH1 as a protein that anchors thylakoid membranes into the pyrenoid condensate, revealing how membranes are integrated into biomolecular condensates.

The paper identifies protein components of pyrenoid-traversing membranes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using affinity purification and mass spectrometry, and characterizes two novel proteins involved in this structure.

This study identifies proteins involved in pyrenoid membrane biogenesis and shows their role in CO2 delivery, with implications for engineering functional pyrenoids in crops.
