Charakterizace nové hluboké linie eukaryot s plesiomorfními mitochondriemi

Název projektu anglicky
Characterizaton of a novel deep-branching eukaryote with plesiomorphic mitochondria
Anotace anglicky
Although inconspicuous and possibly less species-rich than the metazoans or plants, the protists represent a vast majority of deep evolutionary lineages of eukaryotic organisms. The understanding of the evolution of eukaryotes and the eukaryotic cell has been dramatically informed by the discovery of novel protist lineages. The undescribed organism SUM-K, recently isolated in our laboratory, is likely such an influential protist. It represents a deep-branching eukaryotic lineage and has a high number of unique traits, including a possibly plesiomorphic mitochondrion with a versatile energetic metabolism and a complex genome with a gene of bacterial origin that has never been found in any other mitochondrion. In addition, SUM-K has a novel type of extrusive organelles. We will carry out a detailed investigation of this organism using a combination of several approaches, namely genomics and phylogenomics, comparative transcriptomics, ultrastructural analysis including FIB-SEM, and cell biology methods. The results should significantly advance our knowledge of eukaryote evolution.
