The molecular mechanisms of FCPI assembly and selective binding are revealed through comparison of PSI-FCPI structures in two diatom species.

Diatoms encode two forms of flavodoxin with divergent functions that mitigate the oxidative stress and iron requirements associated with life in contemporary oxygenated iron-poor oceans.

The combination of holographic microscopy and deep learning provides a revolutionary tool for plankton ecology that will permit researchers to observe and study the life, feeding habits and reproduction of plankton with unprecedented detail.

An in silico reconstruction of a chloroplast that existed hundreds of millions of years ago casts new insights in the evolutionary processes, endosymbioses and chimerism events that shape the origin of plastids.

Ancient evolutionary signatures reveal mechanistic details of substrate specificity in copper-transporting mitochondria carrier family proteins.

Coevolution analysis suggests that a DNA methylation-related role for the nucleosome remodeling ATPase HELLS and its activator CDCA7 was broadly inherited from the last eukaryotic common ancestor.

TALE homeodomain transcription factors have been independently recruited to regulate gametophyte to sporophyte transitions in two complex multicellular eukaryotic supergroups, land plants in Archaeplastida and brown algae in Chromalveolata.

An iron-sensitive gene cluster encodes proteins that co-localize with phytotransferrin endosomes and are involved in key intracellular iron transformation and trafficking processes in a model marine diatom.

Loss of one protein from the intraflagellar transport complex leads to a defect in import of a specific sub-set of proteins into the flagellum.

Analysis of chromerid algal genomes reveals how apicomplexans have evolved from free-living algae into successful eukaryotic parasites via massive losses and re-inventing functional roles of genes.
