Bacterial vesicle secretion and the evolutionary origin of the eukaryotic endomembrane system
Eukaryotes possess an elaborate endomembrane system with endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus,
Golgi, lysosomes, peroxisomes, autophagosomes, and dynamic vesicle traffic. Theories …

The physiology of phagocytosis in the context of mitochondrial origin
…, AGM Tielens, M Mentel, SG Garg… - Microbiology and …, 2017 - Am Soc Microbiol
How mitochondria came to reside within the cytosol of their host has been debated for 50
years. Though current data indicate that the last eukaryote common ancestor possessed …

[HTML][HTML] Endosymbiotic selective pressure at the origin of eukaryotic cell biology
The dichotomy that separates prokaryotic from eukaryotic cells runs deep. The transition from
pro- to eukaryote evolution is poorly understood due to a lack of reliable intermediate forms …

[HTML][HTML] The future of origin of life research: bridging decades-old divisions
Research on the origin of life is highly heterogeneous. After a peculiar historical development,
it still includes strongly opposed views which potentially hinder progress. In the 1st …

[HTML][HTML] Fortuitously compatible protein surfaces primed allosteric control in cyanobacterial photoprotection
…, A Kilb, AA Ramírez Rojas, SG Garg… - Nature Ecology & …, 2023 - nature.com
Highly specific interactions between proteins are a fundamental prerequisite for life, but how
they evolve remains an unsolved problem. In particular, interactions between initially …

The role of charge in protein targeting evolution
Two eukaryotic compartments are of endosymbiotic origin, the mitochondrion and plastid.
These organelles need to import hundreds of proteins from the cytosol. The import …

Mitochondria, the cell cycle, and the origin of sex via a syncytial eukaryote common ancestor
Theories for the origin of sex traditionally start with an asexual mitosing cell and add
recombination, thereby deriving meiosis from mitosis. Though sex was clearly present in the …

Evidence for a syncytial origin of eukaryotes from ancestral state reconstruction
Modern accounts of eukaryogenesis entail an endosymbiotic encounter between an
archaeal host and a proteobacterial endosymbiont, with subsequent evolution giving rise to a …

Ancestral state reconstructions trace mitochondria but not phagocytosis to the last eukaryotic common ancestor
Two main theories have been put forward to explain the origin of mitochondria in eukaryotes:
phagotrophic engulfment (undigested food) and microbial symbiosis (physiological …
