SAD-dependent thylakoid lipid desaturation and FDX5-associated electron transfer during copper deficiency in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study shows that copper deficiency in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii increases SAD expression, leading to changes in fatty acid composition and growth, with FDX5 playing a role in electron transfer for lipid desaturation.

Depletion of Chloroplast HSP70B Triggers Proteostasis Collapse and Compromises Thylakoid Membrane Integrity in Chlamydomonas

Depletion of chloroplast HSP70B causes cell division arrest, proteostasis collapse, impaired VIPP1 oligomer dynamics with aberrant thylakoid structures, and increased light sensitivity.

Estimation of chloroplast macromolecular complex copy numbers and subunit stoichiometries during the Chlamydomonas reinhardtii cell cycle

The paper quantifies protein abundances and stoichiometries in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii during the cell cycle using the total protein approach.

Client distribution between Chlamydomonas FDX1 and FDX2 in carbon, nitrogen and sulfur assimilation

The paper investigates the functional distribution of FDX1 and FDX2 in Chlamydomonas, showing their distinct roles in carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur assimilation through mutant analysis.

An algal nutrient-replete, optimized medium for fast growth and high triacylglycerol accumulation

This paper designs a nutrient-replete medium for Chromochloris zofingiensis to support fast growth and high triacylglycerol accumulation by optimizing mineral concentrations based on cellular ionome data.

CIA5 INTERACTS WITH THE ZINC CHAPERONE ZNG3 TO BALANCECARBON AND ZINC METABOLISM

The paper identifies ZNG3 as a Zn chaperone interacting with Cia5 to regulate Zn and CO2 metabolism in Chlamydomonas, with distinct phenotypes in ZNG3 and Cia5 mutants.

Pumping Iron: A Multi-omics Analysis of Two Extremophilic Algae Reveals Iron Economy Management

The paper analyzes two extremophilic algae to understand their iron management strategies, identifying novel iron-uptake proteins and adaptive mechanisms that enable survival in low-iron environments.

An optimized ChIP-Seq framework for profiling of histone modifications in Chromochloris zofingiensis

The paper optimizes a ChIP-Seq framework for histone modification profiling in Chromochloris zofingiensis and identifies H3K4me3 enrichment at transcription start sites.

A pathogenic role for histone H3 copper reductase activity in a yeast model of Friedreich's Ataxia

The paper shows that reducing histone H3-mediated Cu1+ production restores Fe-S cluster deficiencies in yeast, linking chromatin and mitochondrial function to Fe-S cluster homeostasis.

The Histone H3-H4 Tetramer is a Copper Reductase Enzyme

The paper shows the histone H3-H4 tetramer acts as a copper reductase enzyme, reducing Cu2+ to Cu1+ and affecting cellular processes dependent on reduced copper.
