Our paper on how light-induced pH changes control the thylakoid membrane association and activity of flavodiiron proteins in Synechocystis is out @NewPhyt! nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com
Flavodiiron proteins associate pH‐dependently with the thylakoid membrane for ferredoxin‐1‐powered O2 photoreduction
Flavodiiron proteins (FDPs) catalyse light-dependent reduction of oxygen to water in photosynthetic organisms, creating an electron sink on the acceptor side of Photosystem I that protects the photo...

Plastoquinone redox status influences carboxysome integrity via a RpaA- and ROS-dependent regulatory network
Carboxysomes are bacterial microcompartments that encapsulate Rubisco and are a core component of the cyanobacterial carbon concentration mechanism (CCM). While carboxysome number, size and spatial or...
