Functional differentiation of Sec13 paralogs in the euglenozoan protists

D. Faktorova, K. Zahonova, C. Benz, J. B. Dacks, M. C. Field, J. Lukes

The paper identifies two Sec13 paralogs in Euglenozoa and shows they have distinct functional roles in COPII, NPC, and SEA/GATOR complexes.

The development of intracytoplasmic membranes in alphaproteobacteria involves the conserved mitochondrial crista-developing protein Mic60

S. A. Munoz-Gomez, L. R. Cadena, A. T. Gardiner, M. M. Leger, S. Sheikh, L. Connell, T. Bily, K. Kopejtka, J. T. Beatty, M. Koblizek, A. J. Roger, C. H. Slamovits, J. Lukes, H. Hashimi

This study shows that Mic60 homologs in alphaproteobacteria are involved in intracytoplasmic membrane development and contact site formation, supporting the hypothesis that mitochondrial cristae evolved from bacterial ICMs.
