Gene Similarity-based Approaches for Determining Core-Genes of Chloroplasts

open access: yes, 2014
In computational biology and bioinformatics, the manner to understand evolution processes within various related organisms paid a lot of attention these last decades.

The gateway to chloroplast: re-defining the function of chloroplast receptor proteins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Chloroplast biogenesis often requires a tight orchestration between gene expression (both plastidial and nuclear) and translocation of similar to 3000 nuclear-encoded proteins into the organelle.

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Gene Replacement in Arabidopsis Reveals Manganese Transport as an Ancient Feature of Human, Plant and Cyanobacterial UPF0016 Proteins

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
The protein family 0016 (UPF0016) is conserved through evolution, and the few members characterized share a function in Mn2+ transport. So far, little is known about the history of these proteins in Eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis thaliana five such proteins,

Dating the cyanobacterial ancestor of the chloroplast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Cyanobacteria have played a pivotal role in the history of life on Earth being the first organism to carry out oxygenic photosynthesis, which changed atmospheric chemistry and allowed the evolution of Eukarya.

The complexities of respiratory chain biogenesis and maintenance in yeast mitochondria

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation is the most efficient way of energy conversion for eukaryotic cells. It is executed by a series of high‐molecular weight enzyme complexes in the inner mitochondrial membrane that were acquired during endosymbiosis at the root of eukaryotic evolution.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, Volume 600, Issue 6, Page 894-909, March 2026.
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

The Future of Systematics: Tree-Thinking Without the Tree [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Phylogenetic trees are meant to represent the genealogical history of life and apparently derive their justification from the existence of the tree of life and the fact that evolutionary processes are tree-like.

Integration of plastids with their hosts: Lessons learned from dinoflagellates. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
After their endosymbiotic acquisition, plastids become intimately connected with the biology of their host. For example, genes essential for plastid function may be relocated from the genomes of plastids to the host nucleus, and pathways may evolve ...

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

open access: yesThe Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...
