Structure of PSI-LHCI from Cyanidium caldarium provides evolutionary insights into conservation and diversity of red-lineage LHCs

The paper determines the structure of PSI-LHCI from Cyanidium caldarium and investigates its evolutionary relationships with other red-lineage LHCs.

Structure of a monomeric photosystem I core associated with iron-stress-induced-A proteins from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120

The paper determines the structure of a monomeric photosystem I core complex with IsiA proteins from Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 under iron deficiency, revealing their role in inhibiting PSI oligomerization.

Structural insights into an evolutionary turning-point of photosystem I from prokaryotes to eukaryotes

The paper presents a cryo-EM structure of tetrameric PSI from Cyanophora paradoxa, revealing structural differences from cyanobacterial PSI that suggest evolutionary changes in PSI organization.

Structural basis for the absence of low-energy chlorophylls responsible for photoprotection from a primitive cyanobacterial PSI

The paper solves the structure of a cyanobacterial PSI lacking low-energy chlorophylls, revealing their absence and functional roles in photoprotection and evolution.

Molecular phylogeny of fucoxanthin-chlorophyll a/c proteins from Chaetoceros gracilis and Lhcq/Lhcf diversity

The paper identifies and classifies 46 FCPs in C. gracilis into five subfamilies, revealing insights into light-harvesting system diversification in red algae.
