Spatiotemporal biogenesis of thylakoid membranes in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

The paper maps thylakoid membrane biogenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using integrated imaging and proteomics, revealing decentralized synthesis and hierarchical assembly of photosynthetic complexes.

Synthesis of C8-vinyl chlorophylls d and f impairs far-red light photoacclimation and growth under far-red light

This study shows that disrupting the BciB gene in cyanobacteria leads to impaired far-red light photoacclimation and growth under far-red light due to altered chlorophyll synthesis.

Molecular basis of the biogenesis of a protein organelle for ethanolamine utilization

This study identifies the molecular mechanisms of Eut BMC assembly in Salmonella, revealing a 'Shell-first' pathway and the role of EutQ in cargo encapsulation and BMC formation.

Rubisco packaging and stoichiometric composition of a native β-carboxysome

Cryo-ET of 169 nm β-carboxysomes from low-light Synechococcus elongatus reveals ~639 Rubiscos in concentric layers with CcmM bound at RbcL grooves; QconCAT proteomics yields the complete absolute protein stoichiometry.

Uncovering the roles of the scaffolding protein CsoS2 in mediating the assembly and shape of the α-carboxysome shell

This study investigates the role of CsoS2-M in carboxysome shell assembly and shaping, revealing its function in enhancing shell protein association and recruiting CsoS2A for Rubisco packaging.
