The paper investigates how starch granules form a sheath around the pyrenoid in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and identifies SBE1 as essential for circumferential growth.

The paper reveals a 2-MDa chloroplast RNA polymerase structure in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing unexpected complexity not linked to land plant evolution.

This paper identifies SAGA1 and SAGA2 as proteins necessary for localizing the starch sheath to the pyrenoid in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing their redundant roles in starch sheath biogenesis.

This study identifies the kinase KEY1 as a regulator of pyrenoid condensate size and dynamics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing it disrupts phase separation interactions to control condensate dissolution during the cell cycle.

The paper identifies protein components of pyrenoid-traversing membranes in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii using affinity purification and mass spectrometry, and characterizes two novel proteins involved in this structure.

This study identifies proteins involved in pyrenoid membrane biogenesis and shows their role in CO2 delivery, with implications for engineering functional pyrenoids in crops.
