A mitochondrion-like ribosome in an insect endosymbiont

Israel S. Fernández, Jessica M. Warren, Justus Nmaduka Nwachukwu, Dewight Williams, Amaia Gonzalez Magaña, Noah Spencer, John P. McCutcheon

This study shows that features of mitochondrial ribosomes, such as host protein acquisition and structural changes, are also present in an ancient insect endosymbiont, suggesting these traits arise from endosymbiont ancestry rather than mitochondrial specificity.
