A single origin of the peridinin- and fucoxanthin-containing plastids in dinoflagellates through tertiary endosymbiosis.
The most widely distributed dinoflagellate plastid contains chlorophyll c(2) and peridinin as the major carotenoid. A second plastid type, found in taxa such as Karlodinium micrum and Karenia spp., contains chlorophylls c(1) + c(2) and 19'-hexanoyloxy-fucoxanthin and/or 19'-butanoyloxy-fucoxanthin but lacks peridinin. Because the presence of chlorophylls c(1) + c(2) and fucoxanthin is typical o...
متن کاملEndosymbiosis: Did Plastids Evolve from a Freshwater Cyanobacterium?
Photosynthetic eukaryotes are the product of an endosymbiotic event between a eukaryotic host and a cyanobacterium that became today's plastid. A new phylogenomic study suggests that the closest relative of plastids among extant cyanobacteria is the recently discovered freshwater-dwelling Gloeomargarita lithophora.
متن کاملUpdating algal evolutionary relationships through plastid genome sequencing: did alveolate plastids emerge through endosymbiosis of an ochrophyte?
Algae with secondary plastids of a red algal origin, such as ochrophytes (photosynthetic stramenopiles), are diverse and ecologically important, yet their evolutionary history remains controversial. We sequenced plastid genomes of two ochrophytes, Ochromonas sp. CCMP1393 (Chrysophyceae) and Trachydiscus minutus (Eustigmatophyceae). A shared split of the clpC gene as well as phylogenomic analyse...
متن کاملA phylogenomic approach for studying plastid endosymbiosis.
Gene transfer is a major contributing factor to functional innovation in genomes. Endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) is a specific instance of lateral gene transfer (LGT) in which genetic materials are acquired by the host genome from an endosymbiont that has been engulfed and retained in the cytoplasm. Here we present a comprehensive approach for detecting gene transfer within a phylogenetic fr...
متن کاملHow Did T3S Evolve?
The injectisome has a common evolutionary origin with the bacterial flagellum, as suggested by the fact that the basal bodies of both nanomachines are similar and include many proteins with a significant similarity. Moreover, there are also functional similarities, such as the use of specific chaperones (5, 45, 104, 108, 138) or of molecular systems regulating the size of the external appendage...
