Tubulin Acetylation Deficiency Promotes Axonemal Turnover and Increases Cytoplasmic Microtubules

Tomohiro Kubo, Natsumi Tajima-Shirasaki, Rinka Sasaki, Toshiyuki Oda, Masayuki Onishi

The paper shows that tubulin acetylation deficiency increases axonemal turnover and cytoplasmic microtubule dynamics without affecting flagellar length or cell growth.

Septin-mediated coupling of protein import and division during chloroplast evolution

Samed Delic, Pamela Vetrano, Caroline S. Simon, David Su, Yezi Xiang, Shu‐Zon Wu, Eva Laura von der Heyde, Natsumi Tajima-Shirasaki, Sheng-An Chen, Carla Brillada, Armin Hallmann, Magdalena Bezanilla, Niccolò Banterle, Gautam Dey, Silvia Ramundo, Masayuki Onishi

This study identifies SEP1, a septin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as a coordinator of chloroplast protein import and division, showing its evolutionary conservation and functional interaction with TOC GTPases.
