A ricle Evolutionary Advantage Conferred by an Eukaryote-to-Eukaryote Gene Transfer Event in Wine Yeasts
Although an increasing number of horizontal gene transfers have been reported in eukaryotes, experimental evidence for their adaptive value is lacking. Here, we report the recent transfer of a 158-kb genomic region between Torulaspora microellipsoides and Saccharomyces cerevisiae wine yeasts or closely related strains. This genomic region has undergone several rearrangements in S. cerevisiae st...

متن کاملEukaryote-to-eukaryote gene transfer events revealed by the genome sequence of the wine yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae EC1118.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used for millennia in winemaking, but little is known about the selective forces acting on the wine yeast genome. We sequenced the complete genome of the diploid commercial wine yeast EC1118, resulting in an assembly of 31 scaffolds covering 97% of the S288c reference genome. The wine yeast differed strikingly from the other S. cerevisiae isolates in possessing...
متن کاملGene transfer from bacteria and archaea facilitated evolution of an extremophilic eukaryote.
Some microbial eukaryotes, such as the extremophilic red alga Galdieria sulphuraria, live in hot, toxic metal-rich, acidic environments. To elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms of adaptation, we sequenced the 13.7-megabase genome of G. sulphuraria. This alga shows an enormous metabolic flexibility, growing either photoautotrophically or heterotrophically on more than 50 carbon sources....
متن کاملHorizontal gene transfer of two cytoskeletal elements from a eukaryote to a cyanobacterium
cytotoxicity of MNNG. Shown in Figure 1B is a schematic incorporating the DCD1related findings reported here and those from a previous report [2]. The MMR-dependent response to Sn1-type methylating agents most likely involves additional proteins besides those normally associated with MMR-dependent spellchecking (for a review, see [1]). Our study has uncovered one such protein, Dcd1, which modul...
