Our paper on the subcellular proteome of Paulinella is finally out! A possible oxygen-scavenging mechanism to enhance RuBisCO carboxylation highlights how protists can reveal unexpected solutions to challenges in photosynthesis. Big kudos to everyone involved! @evanowack.bsky.social

By sidestepping the complexities of polycistronic transcription (typical for trypanosomatids like Angomonas) Lena’s new system lays the groundwork for a long-awaited conditional expression platform which will be a game changer for dissecting host-symbiont molecular interactions in real time.

With their clever setup to visualize ongoing endosymbiotic gene transfers (EGTs), Enrique Gonzalez-Duran, Ralph Bock and team reveal how double-strand break repair limits excessive EGT. Check out their new Nature Plants paper and my News and Views summary! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The host-encoded dynamin-like protein ETP9 forms a contractile ring around the endosymbiont. ETP9 knock down results in division-impaired, filamentous endosymbionts before cells eventually die. 2/2
