DYRKP kinase regulates cell wall degradation in Chlamydomonas by inducing matrix metalloproteinase expression

This study identifies DYRKP kinase as a regulator of cell wall degradation in Chlamydomonas by inducing MMP expression, enabling daughter cell hatching.

The α/β hydrolase domain-containing protein 1 (ABHD1) acts as a lysolipid lipase and is involved in lipid droplet formation

This paper identifies ABHD1 as a lysolipid lipase involved in lipid droplet formation through enzymatic and structural actions on the LD surface in Chlamydomonas.

Alka(e)nes contribute to membrane lipid homeostasis and resilience of photosynthesis to high light in cyanobacteria

This study shows that alka(e)nes are essential for maintaining membrane lipid homeostasis and photosynthetic resilience to high light in cyanobacteria.

A plastidial DEAD box RNA helicase plays a critical role in high light acclimation by modulating ribosome biogenesis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study identifies CreRH22, a plastidial DEAD-box RNA helicase, as essential for high light acclimation in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii by enhancing ribosome biogenesis.

Alternative electron pathways of photosynthesis drive the algal CO2 concentrating mechanism

The paper shows alternative electron pathways in algae generate energy for the CO2 concentrating mechanism, enhancing carbon fixation efficiency.

CO2 supply modulates lipid remodelling, photosynthetic and respiratory activities in Chlorella species

This study examines how CO2 availability affects lipid remodeling, photosynthetic machinery, and mitochondrial respiration in two Chlorella species, revealing divergent responses compared to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

ppGpp influences protein protection, growth and photosynthesis in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

This study shows that ppGpp reduces photosynthesis and promotes a quiescent state in diatoms, while inducing a protein protection response.

ACCLIMATION OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS TO THE ENVIRONMENT 1 regulates Photosystem II Supercomplex dynamics in response to light in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study characterizes ape1 mutants in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing they exhibit PSII photoinhibition and altered thylakoid stacking during light acclimation, suggesting APE1 regulates PSII supercomplex dynamics.
