Phylogenomics of the oxidative phosphorylation in fungi reveals extensive gene duplication followed by functional divergence

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Oxidative phosphorylation is central to the energy metabolism of the cell. Due to adaptation to different life-styles and environments, fungal species have shaped their respiratory pathways in the course of evolution. To identify the main mechanisms behind the evolution of respiratory pathways, we conducted a phylogenomics survey of oxidative phosphorylation components in the genomes of sixty fungal...
