متن کاملLateral and oblique gene transfer.
Sequence information from complete genomes, and from multiple loci of strains within species, is transforming the way that we investigate the evolution of bacteria. Such large-scale assessments of bacterial genomes have provided evidence of extensive gene transfer and exchange. Except in rare cases, these two processes do not seem to be coupled: certain species, such as Escherichia coli, underg...
متن کاملConstraints on lateral gene transfer in promoting fimbrial usher protein diversity and function
Fimbriae are long, adhesive structures widespread throughout members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. They are multimeric extrusions, which are moved out of the bacterial cell through an integral outer membrane protein called usher. The complex folding mechanics of the usher protein were recently revealed to be catalysed by the membrane-embedded translocation and assembly module (TAM). Here, w...
متن کاملLateral Gene Transfer from the Dead
In phylogenetic studies, the evolution of molecular sequences is assumed to have taken place along the phylogeny traced by the ancestors of extant species. In the presence of lateral gene transfer, however, this may not be the case, because the species lineage from which a gene was transferred may have gone extinct or not have been sampled. Because it is not feasible to specify or reconstruct t...
متن کاملLateral Gene Transfer, Rearrangement and Reconciliation
Background. Models of ancestral gene order reconstruction have progressively integrated different evolutionary patterns and processes such as unequal gene content, gene duplications, and implicitly sequence evolution via reconciled gene trees. In unicellular organisms, these models have so far ignored lateral gene transfer, even though it can have an important confounding effect on such models,...
