Journal ArticleDOI
Transcription in chloroplasts and mitochondria: A tale of two polymerases
Michael W. Gray,B. Franz Lang +1 more
TL;DR: Ph phylogenetic analysis shows that RPOY represents the mitochondrial RNA polymerase, whereas RPOZ represents the previously described nucleus-encoded, chloroplast-localized enzyme (NEP), and signs are good that this is indeed the case.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungal evolution: the case of the vanishing mitochondrion.
TL;DR: Fungi in the chytridiomycete order Neocallimastigales and in the pathogenic Microsporidia have taken mitochondrial reduction to the extreme and have permanently lost a mitochondrial genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Widespread occurrence of organelle genome-encoded 5S rRNAs including permuted molecules
TL;DR: This study establishes that particularly mitochondrial 5S rRNA has a much broader taxonomic distribution and a much larger structural variability than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative mitochondrial genomics in zygomycetes: bacteria-like RNase P RNAs, mobile elements and a close source of the group I intron invasion in angiosperms
TL;DR: The combined mtDNA-encoded proteins contain insufficient phylogenetic signal to demonstrate monophyly of zygomycetes, and have the most eubacteria-like RNA structures among fungi.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenomic Analyses Support the Monophyly of Taphrinomycotina, including Schizosaccharomyces Fission Yeasts
Yu Liu,Jessica W. Leigh,Henner Brinkmann,Melanie T. Cushion,Naiara Rodríguez-Ezpeleta,Hervé Philippe,B. Franz Lang +6 more
TL;DR: The combined results suggest that Taphrinomycotina is a legitimate taxon, that this group of species diverges as a sister group to Saccharomy Cotina + Pezizomycotin, and that phylogenetic positioning of yeasts and fission yeasts with mitochondrial data is plagued by a strong LBA artifact.
