Symbiotic origin of a novel actin gene in the cryptophyte Pyrenomonas helgolandii.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Nov 2000

Stibitz T B, Keeling P J, Bhattacharya D

Abstract excerpt

Cryptophytes are photosynthetic protists that have acquired their plastids through the secondary symbiotic uptake of a red alga. A remarkable feature of cryptophytes is that they maintain a reduced form of the red algal nucleus, the nucleomorph, between the second and third plastid membranes (periplastidial compartment; PC). The nucleomorph is thought to be a transition state in the evolution of secondary...
