Tracing the evolutionary pathway: on the origin of mitochondria and eukaryogenesis
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.This study examines the stepwise transition from archaeal–bacterial associations to the emergence of eukaryotic cells. Metabolic cooperation and endosymbiosis fostered ecological and genetic integration, with extensive gene transfer reshaping host biology.

Ecophysiological traits of grasses: resolving the effects of photosynthetic pathway and phylogeny [PDF]
, 2009 C4 photosynthesis is an important example of convergent evolution in plants, having arisen in eudicots, monocots and diatoms. Comparisons between such diverse groups are confounded by phylogenetic and ecological differences, so that only broad ...

Directed Evolution of an Improved Rubisco; In Vitro Analyses to Decipher Fact from Fiction
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Inaccuracies in biochemically characterizing the amount and CO2-fixing properties of the photosynthetic enzyme Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) carboxylase/oxygenase continue to hamper an accurate evaluation of Rubisco mutants selected by directed ...

Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans – the ‘jacks of all trades’
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Short coiled‐coil proteins from plants and metazoans—true ‘jacks of all trades’—play supporting but crucial roles in cellular stress response, metabolism, autophagy, and membrane dynamics. Despite their small size and modest sequence conservation, proteins like plant LSUs and metazoan SCOCs showcase remarkable functional versatility shaped by evolution,

Efficient Protein Expression and Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Plants Using a Crinivirus-Derived Vector. [PDF]
, 2018 Plant virus-based vectors are valuable tools for recombinant gene expression and functional genomics for both basic and applied research. In this study, Lettuce infectious yellows virus (LIYV) of the genus Crinivirus was engineered into a virus vector ...

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.The P6 protein encoded by rice black‐streaked dwarf virus enhances degradation of the rice SUMO E2 conjugating enzyme OsSCE1b through the ubiquitin/26S proteasome pathway; OsSCE1b degradation results in decreased SUMOylation of OsPelota, thereby suppressing RNA decay‐dependent antiviral defenses in rice. ABSTRACT Rice black‐streaked dwarf virus (RBSDV)

Exploring molecular evolution of Rubisco in C3 and CAM Orchidaceae and Bromeliaceae
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background The CO2-concentrating mechanism associated to Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) alters the catalytic context for Rubisco by increasing CO2 availability and provides an advantage in particular ecological conditions.

Drought stress effects on Rubisco in wheat: changes in the Rubisco large subunit
Acta Physiologiae Plantarum, 2009 The leaf protein pattern from drought-tolerant and drought-sensitive wheat varieties subjected to severe soil drought but with the possibility for recover from stress was studied by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE). The spots representing Rubisco large subunit (RLS) were identified using polyclonal antibodies against Rubisco
