Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 110 (2013), 3185–3190 The transport of photorespiratory intermediates between the plant compartments is not well understood. This paper identified the glycolate/glycerate exchanger at the chloroplast envelope. It also outlines strategies that can be used to identify further yet missing transporters.

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 105 (2008), 17199–17204 First evidence was provided for the early evolution of photorespiration among cyanobacteria. In addition to the plant-like photorespiratory cycle, the existence of two other glycolate converting routes is described. Moreover, the essential nature of cyanobacterial photorespiration has been shown to thrive at ambient air conditions despite the CCM activity.

Thus, the essential function of plant-like photorespiration including the peroxisomal glycolate oxidase among red algae is shown. This provides another example for an organism that essential depends on photorespiration despite active CCM.

Cell 155 (2016), 1131–1140 The authors elucidated the in vivo assembly of cyanobacterial carboxysomes. They showed that the prokaryotic compartment is formed from an inner core of Rubisco with subsequent additions of carboxysomal proteins. Thus, carboxysome assembly does not need additional assembly factors, which enables the establishment of this prokaryotic compartment in chloroplasts.
