A ricle Evolutionary Advantage Conferred by an Eukaryote-to-Eukaryote Gene Transfer Event in Wine Yeasts
Although an increasing number of horizontal gene transfers have been reported in eukaryotes, experimental evidence for their adaptive value is lacking. Here, we report the recent transfer of a 158-kb genomic region between Torulaspora microellipsoides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeasts or closely related strains. This genomic region has undergone several rearrangements in S. cerevisiae st...

متن کاملA putative ancestral actin gene present in a thermophilic eukaryote: novel combination of intron positions.
The gene encoding actin in the thermophilic fungus Thermomyces lanuginosus has been isolated and sequenced. It contains five introns, with three being at positions already known to be intron sites in actin genes from other eukaryotes. These three positions have not been found to occur simultaneously in any other organisms to date, suggesting that the actin gene in this fungus may more closely r...
متن کاملA Eukaryote without a Mitochondrial Organelle
The presence of mitochondria and related organelles in every studied eukaryote supports the view that mitochondria are essential cellular components. Here, we report the genome sequence of a microbial eukaryote, the oxymonad Monocercomonoides sp., which revealed that this organism lacks all hallmark mitochondrial proteins. Crucially, the mitochondrial iron-sulfur cluster assembly pathway, thoug...
متن کاملMultifunctional Delivery Systems for Cancer Gene Therapy
This chapter examines key concepts with respect to cancer gene therapy and the cur‐ rent issues with respect to non-viral delivery. The biological and molecular barriers that need to be overcome before effective non-viral delivery systems can be appropri‐ ately designed for oncology applications are highlighted and ways to overcome these are discussed. Strategies developed to evade the immune r...
