• Researchers from the Benning lab are studying how the protein RBL10 affects photosynthetic membrane lipid metabolism, an essential process in photosynthesis.
• Their most recent study looks at the potential interaction of RBL10 and ACP4, another protein, in lipid biosynthesis.
• In the end, the researchers were able to determine that RBL10 and ACP4 both affect lipid biosynthesis, but they “act independently in parallel ways."
