Single, ancient origin of a plastid metabolite translocator family in Plantae from an endomembrane-derived ancestor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phylogenetic analyses show the single origin of a plastid metabolite translocator family in the Plantae from a gene encoding an existing endomembrane-derived protein. Red algal secondary endosymbiosis has spread a translocator gene into the ancestor of the "chromalveolate" protists, where it has diversified into a novel clade of proteins.

Phylogenetic and biochemical evidence supports the recruitment of an ADP-glucose translocator for the export of photosynthate during plastid endosymbiosis.
The acquisition of photosynthesis by eukaryotic cells through enslavement of a cyanobacterium represents one of the most remarkable turning points in the history of life on Earth. In addition to endosymbiotic gene transfer, the acquisition of a protein import apparatus and the coordination of gene expression between host and endosymbiont genomes, the establishment of a metabolic connection was ...
متن کاملChlamydiae Has Contributed at Least 55 Genes to Plantae with Predominantly Plastid Functions
BACKGROUND The photosynthetic organelle (plastid) originated via primary endosymbiosis in which a phagotrophic protist captured and harnessed a cyanobacterium. The plastid was inherited by the common ancestor of the red, green (including land plants), and glaucophyte algae (together, the Plantae). Despite the critical importance of primary plastid endosymbiosis, its ancient derivation has left ...
متن کاملEvolutionary origins of the eukaryotic shikimate pathway: gene fusions, horizontal gene transfer, and endosymbiotic replacements.
Currently the shikimate pathway is reported as a metabolic feature of prokaryotes, ascomycete fungi, apicomplexans, and plants. The plant shikimate pathway enzymes have similarities to prokaryote homologues and are largely active in chloroplasts, suggesting ancestry from the plastid progenitor genome. Toxoplasma gondii, which also possesses an alga-derived plastid organelle, encodes a shikimate...
متن کاملAlgal endosymbionts as vectors of horizontal gene transfer in photosynthetic eukaryotes
Photosynthesis in eukaryotes occurs in the plastid, an organelle that is derived from a single cyanobacterial primary endosymbiosis in the common ancestor of the supergroup Plantae (or Archaeplastida) that includes green, red, and glaucophyte algae and plants. However a variety of other phytoplankton such as the chlorophyll c-containing diatoms, dinoflagellates, and haptophytes contain a red al...
متن کاملAncient gene paralogy may mislead inference of plastid phylogeny.
Because of its ancient origin more than 1 billion years ago, the highly reduced plastid genomes of Plantae (e.g., plant chloroplasts) provide limited insights into the initial stages of endosymbiont genome reduction. The photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella provides a more useful model to study this process because its alpha-cyanobacterium-derived plastid originated ∼60 Ma and the genome still cont...
