This study identifies VIA1 as a conserved protein essential for thylakoid membrane integrity under high light, interacting with VIPP1 to maintain membrane structure.

This study identifies histone-based chromatin regulation components in Asgard archaea, suggesting these features predate eukaryogenesis.

The paper identifies a retrograde signaling pathway where UFMylation of ER ribosomes anchors splicing factors at the ER, linking translational stress to nuclear RNA processing and altering membrane-associated gene expression.

The paper shows electrostatic changes in the Exo70 subunit led to its dissociation from the exocyst complex, enabling functional divergence in plants.

This study investigates the infection strategies of the marine diatom parasite Pirsonia using genomic and transcriptomic analyses, revealing its reliance on actin-based phagocytosis and surface proteins.

This study reveals that PHLPP2 is a pseudophosphatase with no catalytic activity, challenges its role as a tumor suppressor, and identifies its non-catalytic functions in Akt signaling.
