Emergent RNA-RNA interactions can promote stability in a nascent phototrophic endosymbiosis
bioRxiv, 2021 Eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis was responsible for the spread of chloroplast (plastid) organelles. Stability is required for the metabolic and genetic integration that drives the establishment of new organelles, yet the mechanisms which act to ...

Endosymbiosis before eukaryotes: mitochondrial establishment in protoeukaryotes
Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2020 Endosymbiosis and organellogenesis are virtually unknown among prokaryotes. The single presumed example is the endosymbiogenetic origin of mitochondria, which is hidden behind the event horizon of the last eukaryotic common ancestor. While eukaryotes are

The metabolite transporters of the plastid envelope: an update.
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011 The engulfment of a photoautotrophic cyanobacterium by a primitive mitochondria-bearing eukaryote traces back to more than 1.2 billion years ago. This single endosymbiotic event not only provided the early protoalga with the metabolic capacity to perform

Diversity, 2020 The ‘green’ ciliate Paramecium bursaria lives in mutualistic symbiosis with green algae belonging to the species Chlorella variabilis or Micractinium conductrix. We analysed the diversity of algal endosymbionts and their P. bursaria hosts in nine strains

A Study on the Origin of Peroxisomes: Possibility of Actinobacteria Symbiosis [PDF]
, 2008 The origin of peroxisomes as having developed from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) was proposed on the basis of the similarity between some peroxisomal proteins and ER proteins, and the localization of some peroxisomal proteins on the ER.

tRNA functional signatures classify plastids as late-branching cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundEukaryotes acquired the trait of oxygenic photosynthesis through endosymbiosis of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastid organelles. Despite recent advances in the phylogenomics of Cyanobacteria, the phylogenetic root of plastids remains ...

Wolbachia injection from usual to naive host in Drosophila simulans (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Wolbachia pipientis (Hertig) (Rickettsiaceae) is an endocellular bacterium infecting numerous species of arthropods. The bacterium is harboured by males and females but is only transmitted maternally because spermatocytes shed their Wolbachia during ...

Engineering Mycorrhizal Symbioses to Alter Plant Metabolism and Improve Crop Health
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017 Creating sustainable bioeconomies for the 21st century relies on optimizing the use of biological resources to improve agricultural productivity and create new products. Arbuscular mycorrhizae (phylum Glomeromycota) form symbiotic relationships with over

Unity Makes Strength: A Review on Mutualistic Symbiosis in Representative Insect Clades
Life, 2019 Settled on the foundations laid by zoologists and embryologists more than a century ago, the study of symbiosis between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is an expanding field.
