Energy for two: New archaeal lineages and the origin of mitochondria.
Metagenomics bears upon all aspects of microbiology, including our understanding of mitochondrial and eukaryote origin. Recently, ribosomal protein phylogenies show the eukaryote host lineage - the archaeal lineage that acquired the mitochondrion - to branch within the archaea. Metagenomic studies are now uncovering new archaeal lineages that branch more closely to the host than any cultivated ...
متن کاملDNA replication in the archaea.
The archaeal DNA replication machinery bears striking similarity to that of eukaryotes and is clearly distinct from the bacterial apparatus. In recent years, considerable advances have been made in understanding the biochemistry of the archaeal replication proteins. Furthermore, a number of structures have now been obtained for individual components and higher-order assemblies of archaeal repli...
متن کاملThe Common Ancestor of Archaea and Eukarya Was Not an Archaeon
It is often assumed that eukarya originated from archaea. This view has been recently supported by phylogenetic analyses in which eukarya are nested within archaea. Here, I argue that these analyses are not reliable, and I critically discuss archaeal ancestor scenarios, as well as fusion scenarios for the origin of eukaryotes. Based on recognized evolutionary trends toward reduction in archaea ...
متن کامل- Insights in to infertility and modern therapies -
In general, infertility is defined as the inability of couples to conceive after one year of unprotected sex. Causes of infertility can be related to both men and women. Unexplained infertility refers to the absence of a definable cause for a couplechr(chr('39')39chr('39'))s failure to achieve pregnancy, even after standard diagnostic methods including semen analysis, endometrial biopsy, etc. H...
متن کاملArchaeal extrachromosomal genetic elements.
SUMMARY Research on archaeal extrachromosomal genetic elements (ECEs) has progressed rapidly in the past decade. To date, over 60 archaeal viruses and 60 plasmids have been isolated. These archaeal viruses exhibit an exceptional diversity in morphology, with a wide array of shapes, such as spindles, rods, filaments, spheres, head-tails, bottles, and droplets, and some of these new viruses have ...
