Crossing the eukaryote-prokaryote divide
The resident microbiota of the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract is comprised of ~2000 bacterial species, the majority of which are anaerobes. Colonization of the GI tract is important for normal development of the immune system and provides a reservoir of catabolic enzymes that degrade ingested plant polysaccharides. Bacteroides fragilis is an important member of the microbiota because it cont...
متن کاملArchaea and the prokaryote-to-eukaryote transition.
Since the late 1970s, determining the phylogenetic relationships among the contemporary domains of life, the Archaea (archaebacteria), Bacteria (eubacteria), and Eucarya (eukaryotes), has been central to the study of early cellular evolution. The two salient issues surrounding the universal tree of life are whether all three domains are monophyletic (i.e., all equivalent in taxanomic rank) and ...
متن کاملProkaryote-eukaryote interactions identified by using Caenorhabditis elegans.
Prokaryote-eukaryote interactions are ubiquitous and have important medical and environmental significance. Despite this, a paucity of data exists on the mechanisms and pathogenic consequences of bacterial-fungal encounters within a living host. We used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans as a substitute host to study the interactions between two ecologically related and clinically troublesome ...
متن کاملMembranes, energetics, and evolution across the prokaryote-eukaryote divide
The evolution of the eukaryotic cell marked a profound moment in Earth's history, with most of the visible biota coming to rely on intracellular membrane-bound organelles. It has been suggested that this evolutionary transition was critically dependent on the movement of ATP synthesis from the cell surface to mitochondrial membranes and the resultant boost to the energetic capacity of eukaryoti...
متن کاملEukaryotic-like signaling and gene regulation in a prokaryote that undergoes multicellular development.
H ow cell–cell signaling coordinates cell movement, gene expression, and differentiation during the development of multicellular organisms is a fundamental question. At the molecular level, the answer is complex, even in the simplest cases. Myxococcus xanthus is one of the simplest organisms that undergo development to produce a multicellular structure of uniform size and shape. Cells of this b...
