Chromerid genomes reveal the evolutionary path from photosynthetic algae to obligate intracellular parasites

Yong H. Woo, +53 more
- 15 Jul 2015 - 
TL;DR: Insight is provided into how obligate parasites with diverse life strategies arose from a once free-living phototrophic marine alga, and co-regulated with genes encoding the flagellar apparatus supporting the functional contribution of flagella to the evolution of invasion machinery.
Journal ArticleDOI

Morphology, ultrastructure and life cycle of Vitrella brassicaformis n. sp., n. gen., a novel chromerid from the Great Barrier Reef.

TL;DR: Analysis of photosynthetic pigments demonstrates that both chromerids lack chlorophyll c, the hallmark of phototrophic chromalveolates, and proposes their classification into distinct families Chromeraceae and Vitrellaceae, predicting a hidden and unexplored diversity of the chromerid algae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Re-evaluating the green versus red signal in eukaryotes with secondary plastid of red algal origin.

TL;DR: The impact of EGT on eukaryote genomes is evaluated by reanalyzing the recently published EST dataset for Chromera velia, an interesting test case of a photosynthetic alga closely related to apicomplexan parasites, which reveals the lack of congruence and the subjectivity resulting from independent phylogenomic screens for EGT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evolution of the Tetrapyrrole Biosynthetic Pathway in Secondary Algae: Conservation, Redundancy and Replacement

TL;DR: It is suggested that heme pathway enzymes in B. natans and L. chlorophorum share a predominantly rhodophytic origin, which implies the ancient presence of a r Rhodophyte-derived plastid in the chlorarachniophyte alga, analogous to the green dinoflagellate, or an exceptionally massive horizontal gene transfer.
