The paper describes the discovery of the PerMES protein complex that tethers peroxisome and mitochondria in yeast cells. This highly cited high-content microscopy-based study opened an avenue of research on the communication between these two organelles which are central in cellular lipid metabolism, and are involved in cross-talk between lipid and central carbon metabolism.

The paper describes the discovery of a new yeast protein with a role in lipid metabolism, Tum1. It also addresses the crosstalk between lipid metabolism and tRNA modification, which is another biological process where Tum1 has a role in yeast. In addition, it explores the evolutionary conservation of the rhodanese superfamily of proteins to which Tum1 belongs.
