A protein blueprint of the diatom CO-fixing organelle.

Diatoms are central to the global carbon cycle. At the heart of diatom carbon fixation is an overlooked organelle called the pyrenoid, where concentrated CO is delivered to densely packed Rubisco. Diatom pyrenoids fix approximately one-fifth of global CO, but the protein composition of this organelle is largely unknown.

The DNA repair kinase ATM regulates CD13 expression and cell migration.

Classically, ATM is known for its role in sensing double-strand DNA breaks, and subsequently signaling for their repair. Non-canonical roles of ATM include transcriptional silencing, ferroptosis, autophagy and angiogenesis. Angiogenesis mediated by ATM signaling has been shown to be VEGF-independent via p38 signaling.
