Scientists from the University of Liverpool have revealed new insight into how cyanobacteria construct the organelles that are essential for their ability to photosynthesise. The research, which carried out in collaboration with the University of Science and Technology of China, has been published in PNAS. https://phys.org/news/2020-07-reveals-bacteria-essential-carbon-fixing-machinery.html Cell & Microbiology Wed, 08 Jul 2020 15:12:59 EDT news513439975 A team led by Prof. Zhou Congzhao and Prof. Chen Yuxing from University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) reported the crystal structures of Raf1 from cyanobacteria Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and its complex with RuBisCO large subunit RbcL, and proposed a putative model for the assembly of cyanobacterial RuBisCO coordinated by the chaperone Raf1. The results were published in Nature Plants. https://phys.org/news/2020-06-reveal-molecular-basis-rubisco-chaperone.html Cell & Microbiology Mon, 08 Jun 2020 09:37:42 EDT news510827859 Mice with black fur that turns white? Specialist cancer researchers from Inserm, CNRS, the Institut Curie and the Université Paris-Sud have taken steps to better understand the development of skin cells responsible for pigmentation (known as melanocytes). By genetically manipulating mice with black fur, the researchers identified two key players: B-Raf and C-Raf proteins. https://phys.org/news/2012-10-b-raf-c-raf-proteins-mouse-white.html Cell & Microbiology Fri, 05 Oct 2012 10:57:40 EDT news268653433
