This study uses cryo-EM and cross-linking to reveal the oligomeric structure of plant biotin carboxylase, showing asymmetric dimer-of-dimers and dynamic B-domain interactions.

This study shows PII interacts with BADC and BCCP proteins to regulate lipid and nitrogen metabolism in Arabidopsis by modulating ACCase activity and protein stoichiometry.

The paper investigates metabolic changes in an Arabidopsis mutant with altered ACCase activity, revealing shifts in carbon flux and protein accumulation.

The paper shows that fatty acid synthesis and breakdown occur simultaneously during plant oil synthesis, challenging previous assumptions and explaining underperformance in engineered oil-producing plants.

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