    Arabidopsis RCD1 coordinates chloroplast and mitochondrial functions through interaction with ANAC transcription factors

    Alexey Shapiguzov, Julia P Vainonen ... Jaakko Kangasjärvi
    Signalling and metabolic interactions of the plant energy organelles, chloroplasts and mitochondria, depend on the nuclear regulatory protein RCD1.

    Photosynthetic sea slugs induce protective changes to the light reactions of the chloroplasts they steal from algae

    Vesa Havurinne, Esa Tyystjärvi
    Slug chloroplasts avoid damage to photosynthesis by maintaining an oxidized electron transfer chain with the help of oxygen-sensitive electron acceptors.

    The induction of pyrenoid synthesis by hyperoxia and its implications for the natural diversity of photosynthetic responses in Chlamydomonas

    Peter Neofotis, Joshua Temple ... David M Kramer
    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.

    Homeostasis of branched-chain amino acids is critical for the activity of TOR signaling in Arabidopsis

    Pengfei Cao, Sang-Jin Kim ... Federica Brandizzi
    Despite BCAAs being de novo-synthesized in chloroplasts, TOR activation by BCAAs is conserved in plants and triggers a re-organization of actin and actin-associated endomembranes.

    Effects of microcompartmentation on flux distribution and metabolic pools in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii chloroplasts

    Anika Küken, Frederik Sommer ... Tabea Mettler-Altmann
    Mathematical models reveal that under the physiologically different conditions ambient and high CO2, two algal microcompartments are metabolically connected by facilitated transport.

    Structural insights into the light-driven auto-assembly process of the water-oxidizing Mn4CaO5-cluster in photosystem II

    Miao Zhang, Martin Bommer ... Athina Zouni
    The structures of photosystem II, with the water-oxidizing Mn4CaO5-cluster fully removed and in an intermediate assembly state, show that photoassembly is facilitated by perfectly pre-arranged protein ligands of the five metal ions.

    In vivo experiments do not support the charge zipper model for Tat translocase assembly

    Felicity Alcock, Merel PM Damen ... Ben C Berks
    A prominent model for the structural organisation of the Tat (twin-arginine translocase) protein transport system fails live cell tests.

    Systems analysis of the CO2 concentrating mechanism in cyanobacteria

    Niall M Mangan, Michael P Brenner
    Systems level modeling of cyanobacterial mechanism for concentrating carbon dioxide shows optimal organization and enzymatic activity for enhanced carbon fixation.

    Structural basis for molecular assembly of fucoxanthin chlorophyll a/c-binding proteins in a diatom photosystem I supercomplex

    Koji Kato, Yoshiki Nakajima ... Ryo Nagao
    The molecular mechanisms of FCPI assembly and selective binding are revealed through comparison of PSI-FCPI structures in two diatom species.
