Phagocytosis without mitochondria is a lineage trait of planctomycetal bacteria of prey

The paper shows that some mitochondria-lacking planctomycetal bacteria can engulf prey, challenging mitochondria-first eukaryogenesis models.

Pathogen cell wall degrading enzymes facilitate extracellular vesicles to deliver RNA into plants

The paper shows that cell wall degrading enzymes enable extracellular vesicles to deliver RNA into plants by compromising the cell wall.

Gene Supplementation of MYO7A or activation of Myo7b for treatment of Usher syndrome 1B

This study evaluates gene supplementation of MYO7A via dual AAVs and CRISPR/Cas activation of Myo7b in animal models and human retinal organoids to treat Usher syndrome 1B.

Sequence adaptations in the intracellular domain of Symbiosis receptor-like kinase (SymRK) promoted infection thread progression in root nodule primordia

The paper identifies sequence adaptations in the intracellular domain of SymRK that enable infection thread progression in root nodule primordia by interacting with SINA E3 ubiquitin ligases.

The 2D and 3D ultrastructure of symbiosomes and associated vesicular structures in Lotus japonicus root nodule symbiosis

This study uses 2D and 3D imaging to analyze the ultrastructure of symbiosomes in Lotus japonicus root nodules, revealing their arrangement, shape, and associated vesicular structures.

Expression levels of the Band-7 protein FLOTILLIN modulate salt tolerance, growth and development in the moss Physcomitrium patens

This study shows that overexpression of PpFLOT in moss reduces salt tolerance and alters growth, with effects linked to ROS and ion signaling.

Subcellular plant carbohydrate metabolism under elevated temperature

This study investigates subcellular carbohydrate metabolism in Arabidopsis thaliana under elevated temperatures, finding that heat acclimation at 34°C stabilizes cytosolic sucrose concentrations through vacuolar compartmentalization and inhibitor effects.

Plant cells tolerate high rates of organellar mistranslation

This study shows plant cells tolerate high rates of organellar mistranslation, with plastids being more lenient than mitochondria, and reveals differences in stress responses.

Apicomplexan motility depends on the operation of an endocytic-secretory cycle

This study shows that endocytosis is essential for gliding motility in Toxoplasma gondii, as it enables retrograde membrane flow and the recycling of surface proteins.
