Congrats to Shan He and the team for determining the mechanistic and structural basis for how the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco phase separates in the pyrenoid! On the left is our model for how the intrinsically disordered protein EPYC1 links Rubisco holoenzymes together to form the pyrenoid matrix. Read the paper here! See the Princeton press release here!
November 11, 2020
Congrats to Moritz Meyer and the team for demonstrating that a common protein motif mediates the targeting of proteins to the pyrenoid! This discovery led us to propose a model for how the pyrenoid’s three sub-compartments (tubules, matrix, and starch) are held together, shown on the left. Read the paper here!
