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.

Txikispora philomaios n. sp., n. g., a Micro-Eukaryotic Pathogen of Amphipods, Reveals Parasitism and Hidden Diversity in Class Filasterea

A. Urrutia, K. Mitsi, R. Foster, S. Ross, M. Carr, I. Marigomez, M. M. Leger, I. Ruiz-Trillo, S. W. Feist, D. Bass

This study identifies a new parasitic micro-eukaryote in amphipods, describes its morphology and phylogeny, and expands known Filasterea diversity through environmental metagenomics.
