Here is my new favourite Rubiscondensate from a marine diatom with first authors @ZenOhZhenGuo and Warren Ang. 2 uM linker protein PYCO1, 5 uM Rubisco holoenzyme forms a very viscous condensate. Droplets labelled with 5% PYCO1-GFP or PYCO1-mRuby. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.23…
This is pretty fun- Claude built me a calvin benson bassham 14C tracing simulator including autoradiogram for teaching.. omuellercajar-dotcom.github.…

🎉Out today @PNASNews the amazing work of Jon Doenier between our group, and @Yeh_Lab reveals one of the most important proteins that help diatoms, and many phytoplankton survive dynamic oceanic conditions 👇☀️🌥️☀️🌦️

In back-to-back papers, our lab and the Casal lab tackle the question: How does temperature reshape auxin-driven growth?
Together, we reveal that temperature directly rewires ARF behavior.

We genetically disconnected starch from the matrix in the algal pyrenoid!
A saga1;saga2 double mutant lacks a pyrenoid starch sheath!
Our model: SAGA1 & SAGA2 locally initiate starch on the pyrenoid surface by enriching starch precursors.

Algal pyrenoids—condensates that mediate ~1/3 of Earth’s CO2 fixation—change size and number as cells divide. Our data suggest a simple control mechanism: a kinase that continuously ejects material from the condensate! ☀️🌍🔬💧 #Biophysics #Photosynthesis
