CsLinker: an algal pyrenoid assembly protein that binds the RbcL, complements across 800 My of evolution and phase separates plant Rubisco. Very excited to share this work by James Barrett, Jamie Blaza, Michael Plevin, Mark Leake, McCormick Lab. Martin Jonikas doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…

What a super meeting! With creative new ways to do research at the beautiful edges of physical and life sciences you really really can make transformative progress that, frankly, will have global and long-lasting impact… Physics of Life

Out from our lab: a toolbox for chloroplast engineering . Paving the way towards synbio in chloroplasts. Fantastic work by René Inckemann Tanguy Chotel Cedric K. Brinkmann Michael Burgis and labs of @FWillmund Luke Mackinder James Barrett biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Super happy to have contributed in a small way to this monumental effort by René et al.! This is a really amazing piece of work that significantly advances our ability to engineer chloroplasts.

A game changer in chloroplast engineering. We are already hugely benefitting from the tools. Well worth reading the thread to see how it was achieved

Great to be part of this multi-disciplinary project. See the insightful thread by @CharlSchaef explaining how we worked across disciplines to predict phase diagrams that we experimentally validated #pyrenoid

Meet a fantastic group of researchers working on our project #ECR #PDRA

Another major hurdle overcame in plant pyrenoid engineering to enhance CO2 fixation - how to traverse the Rubisco condensate with thylakoid membranes. Congratulations Martin Jonikas McCormick Lab @JHennacy Nicky Atkinson

Super excited to share our latest work on the native in-cell organization of the mitochondrial respiratory chain 🥳 Using cryo-electron tomography🔬, we show how the respiratory complexes (and other complexes) are organized inside native mitochondria!  biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our preprint on the interplay between algal CO2 concentrating mechanism and photorespiration is now available. We have identified LCI20 as a new player in algal photorespiration that delivers amino groups for mitochondrial glycolate metabolism. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/3

The final version of our PyShell🥧🐚 paper is now online Cell. Check out how diatoms soak up 20% of the Earth's #CO2!🌏 📜 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… Brilliant work by Manon Demulder, @Jorgendottir, Ginga, Aki, Giovanni, Genji, Yusuke, and all the rest of our collabs 🤗

Some of the amazing, microscopic algae and animals that float at the sea surface. (From my plankton net tows) It is shocking that this vital world of life is so overlooked by natural history TV programmes. In fact, I'd say it is a dereliction of duty. ZEISS Microscopy

Evolution of Thylakoid Structural Diversity!🌱🦠🌍 Annemarie's deep dive🤿 into the wide wild world of photosynthetic complexes and thylakoid architecture and is now available open access Annual Reviews. She also made beautiful figures🎨. Check it out! annualreviews.org/content/journa…

A blueprint of the diatom pyrenoid reveals a Rubisco encapsulating protein Shell is critical for CO2 fixation. Is it essential for global NPP? Congrats to Onyou Nam,James Barrett,Caroline McKenzie,Jamie Blaza + great collab with Manon Demulder,Ben Engel.doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…

Diatom PyShells help fix 20% of the Earth's #CO2🌍. Luke, Onyou, & team -- It was a great pleasure collaborating with you on this very exciting project. So much to explore in the diverse world of marine algae!🌊🦠🪸

A promiscuous algal Rubisco binding protein that binds to the large subunit, can condense plant Rubiscos and functionally complement an epyc1 mutant. Congrats James Barrett + great team effort Mihris Ibnu Saleem,Michael Plevin,McCormick Lab,Jamie Blaza,Peter O'Toole. doi.org/10.1038/s41477…

Check out this Research Briefing for a quick overview of our work exploring Rubisco condensation by CsLinker, an intrinsically disordered protein from Chlorella. All driven by James Barrett doi.org/10.1038/s41477…

Our new review is out now – well done Ella, Sabina, Nicky and Charlotte – a great collaboration with the Luke Mackinder! From algae to plants: understanding pyrenoid based CO2-concentrating mechanisms. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
