How is the CCM influencing the response to nitrogen deprivation? 🤔 In this preprint led by Evan Saldivar in collaboration with @rheelab.bsky.social , we reveal that in cyanobacteria🦠, the CCM is required for rapidly responding to dynamic nitrogen concentrations👇 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

So glad 🥳 to see this work led by Felix Buchert and Michael Hippler out in Nature Plant@natureportfolio.nature.com ! 🥳This work shows new residues of cytochrome b6f, which are critical to electron transport and state transition during photosynthesis ☀️👀 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The amino terminus of PetD is essential for cytochrome b6 f function and the negative feedback control of STT7 kinase - Nature Plants

This study reveals that the cytochrome b6f subunit PetD regulates the STT7 kinase. In particular, the N terminus is required for kinase activation, while Thr4 phosphorylation provides feedback that im...
