Predation between prokaryotes and the origin of eukaryotes.
Accumulating data suggest that the eukaryotic cell originated from a merger of two prokaryotes, an archaeal host and a bacterial endosymbiont. However, since prokaryotes are unable to perform phagocytosis, the means by which the endosymbiont entered its host is an enigma. We suggest that a predatory or parasitic interaction between prokaryotes provides a reasonable explanation for this conundru...
متن کاملArsenate reductases in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
The ubiquity of arsenic in the environment has led to the evolution of enzymes for arsenic detoxification. An initial step in arsenic metabolism is the enzymatic reduction of arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)]. At least three families of arsenate reductase enzymes have arisen, apparently by convergent evolution. The properties of two of these are described here. The first is the prokaryotic...
متن کاملGC3 Biology in Eukaryotes and Prokaryotes
The genetic code, the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material, is found in every cell of every living organism. This code consists of all possible combinations of trinucleotide sequences in coding regions, called codons. With a few exceptions, such as startand stop-codons, a triplet codon in a DNA sequence specifies a single amino acid – protein’s building block. The human...
متن کاملCloned potassium channels from eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Potassium channels contribute to the excitability of neurons and signaling in the nervous system. They arise from multiple gene families including one for voltage-gated potassium channels and one for inwardly rectifying potassium channels. Features of potassium permeation, channel gating and regulation, and subunit interaction have been analyzed. Potassium channels of similar design have been f...
متن کاملProkaryotes Versus Eukaryotes: Who is Hosting Whom?
Microorganisms represent the largest component of biodiversity in our world. For millions of years, prokaryotic microorganisms have functioned as a major selective force shaping eukaryotic evolution. Microbes that live inside and on animals outnumber the animals' actual somatic and germ cells by an estimated 10-fold. Collectively, the intestinal microbiome represents a "forgotten organ," functi...
