Update on Expression of Plastid Genes Expression of Plastid Genes: Organelle-Specific Elaborations on a Prokaryotic Scaffold
Chloroplasts and their nonphotosynthetic relatives in the plastid organelle family evolved from a cyanobacterial endosymbiont (for review, see Timmis et al., 2004). The subsequent coevolution of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes produced an organelle that is eubacterial at its core but with extensive chloroplastspecific embellishments. Of the thousands of genes in the cyanobacterial ancestor,...

متن کاملMutation accumulation in nuclear, organelle, and prokaryotic transfer RNA genes.
A comparative analysis of the transfer RNA genes in the genomes of the major kingdoms of eukaryotes and prokaryotes leads to the general conclusion that the rate of evolution of organelle tRNA genes is typically equal to of greater than that of their nuclear counterparts. Situations where this is not the case, most notably in vascular plants, are attributable to an elevated mutation rate in the...
متن کاملSecond genesis of a plastid organelle.
O ne of the more remarkable discoveries of 20th century biology is that all eukaryotes are chimeras of two or more different cells (1). The tree of life does not just bifurcate through successive speciation events; its branches also graft, one onto another, merging lineages to produce novel fruit. Our mitochondria, and the photosynthetic plastids of plants and algae, are proof of the success of...
متن کاملThe bacterial magnetosome: a unique prokaryotic organelle.
The bacterial magnetosome is a unique prokaryotic organelle comprising magnetic mineral crystals surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer. These inclusions are biomineralized by the magnetotactic bacteria which are ubiquitous, aquatic, motile microorganisms. Magnetosomes cause cells of magnetotactic bacteria to passively align and swim along the Earth's magnetic field lines, as miniature motile com...
