Today is an emotional day for me. Together with Prof. John McCutcheon lab @ASU we have visualized by cryoEM what looks like a very funky ribosome from an insect endosymbiont. We believe there are important evolutionary implications. Here the pre-print: biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
A mitochondrion-like ribosome in an insect endosymbiont

A mitochondrion-like ribosome in an insect endosymbiont

Understanding how the mitochondrion evolved from a bacterial endosymbiont to an organelle is obscured by time and a lack of comparative examples. It is clear that mitochondrial ribosomes are derived...

For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the original DNA. But new research into how bacteria defend themselves from viruses now shows this synthesis rule isn’t absolute. Now, a team describes a bacterial enzyme that synthesizes DNA without a nucleic acid template, using its own structure as a guide. Learn more: scim.ag/4tN5TBR
