[HTML][HTML] Mitochondrial iron–sulfur clusters: Structure, function, and an emerging role in vascular biology
Abstract Iron-sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are essential cofactors most commonly known for their
role mediating electron transfer within the mitochondrial respiratory chain. The Fe–S cluster …

A Bayesian mixture model for across-site heterogeneities in the amino-acid replacement process
Most current models of sequence evolution assume that all sites of a protein evolve under
the same substitution process, characterized by a 20× 20 substitution matrix. Here, we …

PJ Keeling - … Transactions of the Royal Society B …, 2010 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Plastids and mitochondria each arose from a single endosymbiotic event and share many
similarities in how they were reduced and integrated with their host. However, the …

The number, speed, and impact of plastid endosymbioses in eukaryotic evolution
PJ Keeling - Annual review of plant biology, 2013 - annualreviews.org
Plastids (chloroplasts) have long been recognized to have originated by endosymbiosis of a
cyanobacterium, but their subsequent evolutionary history has proved complex because …

Chemical Rescue of Malaria Parasites Lacking an Apicoplast Defines Organelle Function in Blood-Stage Plasmodium falciparum
E Yeh, JL DeRisi - PLoS biology, 2011 - journals.plos.org
Plasmodium spp parasites harbor an unusual plastid organelle called the apicoplast. Due to
its prokaryotic origin and essential function, the apicoplast is a key target for development of …
