摘要

这篇论文介绍了两种具有很大基因和细胞复杂rn性的真核微生物(Guillardia和Bigelowiella)的核rn基因组的序列。这些藻类是通过吞食真核藻类rn以内共生方式获得光合作用过程中的过渡形rn式,它们有四个基因组:线粒体和质体(叶绿rn体)基因组、一个来源于宿主的核基因组和一rn个来源于内共生的微型化的“类核体”基因rn组。分析显示,它们具有对一种单细胞生物来rn说的前所未有的另类剪接方式和广泛的基因和rn生化“镶嵌性”。虽然从线粒体到核的基因转rn移在两种生物中都在继续,但从质体到核及从rn“类核体”到核的转移已经停止,这可以解释rn为什么“类核体”持久存在。%Cryptophyte and chlorarachniophyte algae are transitional forms in the widespread secondary endosymbiotic acquisition of photosynthesis by engulfment of eukaryotic algae. Unlike most secondary plastid-bearing algae, miniaturized versions of the endosymbiont nuclei (nucleomorphs) persist in cryptophytes and chlorarachniophytes. To determine why, and to address other fundamental questions about eukaryote-eukaryote endosymbiosis, we sequenced the nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans. Both genomes have >21,000 protein genes and are intron rich, and B. natans exhibits unprecedented alternative splicing for a single-celled organism. Phylogenomic analyses and subcellular targeting predictions reveal extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosymbiont cytosol of both algae. Mitochondrion-to-nucleus gene transfer still occurs in both organisms but plastid-to-nucleus and nucleomorph-to-nucleus transfers do not, which explains why a small residue of essential genes remains locked in each nucleomorph.
