Rubisco and EPYC1 in the pyrenoid matrix

Caption

Rubisco (teal) is linked and clustered together by EPYC1 (orange) in the pyrenoid matrix. Subhead: Princeton researchers Shan He, Martin Jonikas, and their colleagues have discovered how Rubisco holoenzymes assemble to form the fluid-like matrix of the algal pyrenoid, an organelle that mediates the incorporation of carbon dioxide into sugars. The study detailing the group's findings was published November 23, 2020 in the journal Nature Plants.
