Asgard archaea shed light on the evolutionary origins of the eukaryotic ubiquitin-escrt machinery

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Tomoyuki Hatano from the Division University of, Lancaster , YG, UK have published the article: Asgard archaea shed light on the evolutionary origins of the eukaryotic ubiquitin-ESCRT machinery, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
• what: The analysis shows that, like its eukaryotic counterparts, the Asgard ESCRT-I subcomplex stably recognises ubiquitin. The authors focused on diverse Asgard archaeal species identified from published metagenomic assemblies57,58. The authors provide experimental and computational support for the idea that many Asgard archaea possess a streamlined version of the 8 Ub-ESCRT system present in eukaryotes (Fig . . .
