The yeast mRNA decapping enzyme Dcp1/Dcp2 repressses many genes whose products are required on poor carbon or nitrogen sources in nutrient-replete cells by mRNA decapping and degradation or translational repression, adding post-transcriptional controls to the transcriptional repression of these functions.

A key enzyme of central energy metabolism, citrate synthase, regulates bacterial cell cycle progression at a very specific stage (S-phase) and independently of its enzymatic activity.

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.

Live-cell microscopy and genome-wide screens reveal how slow transitions in metabolism can underlie metabolic memory, providing a model for organisms demonstrating similar history-dependent behaviour and routes to improve industrial microbes.

The algal pyrenoid is formed at high O₂ levels, even when CO₂ is high, implying that a product of photosynthesis, most likely H₂O₂ acts as a signal.

A multi-cohort analysis of 2,500 gut microbiomes and five major diseases discovers that disease-microbiome associations display specific age-centric trends, with diseases characterized by age-centric trends of species gain/loss.

Under hypoxic stress, when cellular demand for energy relies entirely on glycolysis, the machinery for glycolysis binds RNA and phase separates into G bodies, leading to enhanced glycolysis rates.

Constraint-based modelling predicts C4 photosynthesis evolves under resource limitation from an ancestral ground state of C3 photosynthesis and attributes divergent metabolic routes in extant C4 subtypes to light.
