This study identifies VIA1 as a conserved protein essential for thylakoid membrane integrity under high light, interacting with VIPP1 to maintain membrane structure.

The paper reveals a 2-MDa chloroplast RNA polymerase structure in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing unexpected complexity not linked to land plant evolution.

This study identifies SEP1, a septin in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, as a coordinator of chloroplast protein import and division, showing its evolutionary conservation and functional interaction with TOC GTPases.

The paper identifies a conserved selective autophagy receptor, CESAR, critical for proteostasis under heat stress in plants through cross-species interactome analysis.

The paper identifies proteoform truncations in human and plant proteomes and describes their functional implications and evolutionary conservation.

The paper identifies VIA1, a conserved protein interacting with VIPP1, and shows it is essential for thylakoid membrane biogenesis and maintenance in two photosynthetic organisms.

The paper systematically characterizes gene function in a photosynthetic organism by analyzing mutant phenotypes across diverse conditions and linking them to functional pathways.

The paper creates a genome-wide mutant library for Chlamydomonas reinhardtii to identify genes essential for photosynthesis, finding 303 candidate genes, including 21 novel ones.
