A Possible Role for Short Introns in the Acquisition of Stroma-Targeting Peptides in the Flagellate Euglena gracilis

The chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis bounded by three membranes arose via secondary endosymbiosis of a green alga in a heterotrophic euglenozoan host. Many genes were transferred from symbiont to the host nucleus. A subset of Euglena nuclear genes of predominately symbiont, but also host, or other origin have obtained complex presequences required for chloroplast targeting. This study has revea...

Cytochrome f and subunit IV, two essential components of the photosynthetic bf complex typically encoded in the chloroplast genome, are nucleus-encoded in Euglena gracilis.

The photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis contains chloroplasts surrounded by three membranes which arise from secondary endosymbiosis. The genes petA and petD, encoding cytochrome f and subunit IV of the cytochrome bf complex, normally present in chloroplast genomes, are lacking from the chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) of E. gracilis. The bf complex of E. gracilis was isolated, and the identities of...

A nuclear gene of eubacterial origin in Euglena gracilis reflects cryptic endosymbioses during protist evolution.

Genes for glycolytic and Calvin-cycle glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) of higher eukaryotes derive from ancient gene duplications which occurred in eubacterial genomes; both were transferred to the nucleus during the course of endosymbiosis. We have cloned cDNAs encoding chloroplast and cytosolic GAPDH from the early-branching photosynthetic protist Euglena gracilis and have det...

Nucleus-encoded precursors to thylakoid lumen proteins of Euglena gracilis possess tripartite presequences.

The complete presequences of the nucleus-encoded precursors to two proteins, cytochrome c6 and the 30-kDa protein of the oxygen-evolving complex, that reside in the thylakoid lumen of the chloroplasts of Euglena gracilis are presented. Sorting of these proteins involves translocation across four membranes, the three-membraned chloroplast envelope and the thylakoid membrane. The tripartite prese...

Identification and Expression Analysis of Two Arabidopsis LRR-Protein Encoding Genes Responsive to Some Abiotic Stresses

AbstractTwo Arabidopsis thaliana genes, psr9.2 and psr9.4 appearedto be highly similar to a phosphate-starved induced gene,psr9, isolated from Brassica nigra suspension cells.Sequence analysis classified the encoded polypeptides asmembers of leucine-rich repeat (LRR) proteins superfamily.The sequence of psr9 proteins comprise a unique N-terminalregion e...
