TL;DR: Analyses of the Chlamydomonas genome advance the understanding of the ancestral eukaryotic cell, reveal previously unknown genes associated with photosynthetic and flagellar functions, and establish links between ciliopathy and the composition and function of flagella.

TL;DR: The intersection of mitochondrial FAS and RNA metabolism in both systems provides a novel mechanism for the coordination of intermediary metabolism in eukaryotic cells.

TL;DR: The analysis of cob transcripts in strains carrying the mitochondrial deletion genomes indicates that a 63-nucleotide sequence that encompasses the cleavage site at -954 is sufficient both for CBP1 function and for correct positioning of the Cleavage.

TL;DR: Daughter four-membered rootlet microtubules direct eyespot positioning and assembly in H2O2-positive polyene-like structures, leading to high-performance liquid chromatography of Na6(CO3)(SO4)2, Na2SO4 and Na2CO3 in the H2S2 region.

TL;DR: Results suggest that Cbp1 is required for translation of COBRNAs, which implies that COB precursor RNA is translated efficiently.
