Encyclopaedia of family A DNA polymerases localized in organelles: Contribution of genes from bacteria including the proto-mitochondrion.

R. Harada, Y. Hirakawa, A. Yabuki, E. Kim, E. Yazaki, R. Kamikawa, K. Nakano, M. Elias, Y. Inagaki

This study identifies and classifies 134 family A DNA polymerase sequences from diverse eukaryotes, revealing their evolutionary origins and suggesting the last eukaryotic common ancestor had two mitochondrial DNAPs.

Phage origin of mitochondrion-localized family A DNA polymerases in kinetoplastids and diplonemids

R. Harada, Y. Inagaki

The paper traces the origin of mitochondrion-localized DNA polymerases in kinetoplastids and diplonemids to a phage-derived enzyme, suggesting horizontal gene transfer played a key role in their evolution.

Barthelonids represent a deep-branching Metamonad clade with mitochondrion-related organelles generating no ATP.

E. Yazaki, K. Kume, T. Shiratori, Y. Eglit, G. Tanifuji, R. Harada, A. G. B. Simpson, K.-i. Ishita, T. Hashimoto, Y. Inagaki

This study determines the phylogenetic position of barthelonids and reveals their mitochondrion-related organelles lack ATP-generating capacity.
