Bacterial-type oxygen detoxification and iron-sulfur cluster assembly in amoebal relict mitochondria
Maralikova B, Ali V, Nakada-Tsukui K, Nozaki T, van der Giezen M, Henze K, et al.
Cell Microbiol
. 2009 Nov;
12(3):331-42.
PMID: 19888992
The assembly of vital reactive iron-sulfur (Fe-S) cofactors in eukaryotes is mediated by proteins inherited from the original mitochondrial endosymbiont. Uniquely among eukaryotes, however, Entamoeba and Mastigamoeba lack such mitochondrial-type...

Methods Mol Biol
. 2007 Oct;
390:167-77.
PMID: 17951687
Mitochondria are indispensable for aerobic respiration, but many microbial eukaryotes have lost this function through reductive evolution. Their modified mitochondria are known as hydrogenosomes or mitosomes depending on whether or...

Exp Parasitol
. 2007 Sep;
118(1):10-6.
PMID: 17880942
It has been more than eight years since the discovery of mitosomes (mitochondrial remnant organelles) in the intestinal human pathogen Entamoeba histolytica. Despite detailed knowledge about the biochemistry of this...

Int Rev Cytol
. 2005 Sep;
244:175-225.
PMID: 16157181
The mitochondrion is generally considered to be a defining feature of eukaryotic cells, yet most anaerobic eukaryotes lack this organelle. Many of these were previously thought to derive from eukaryotes...

PMID: 16151221
Entamoeba histolytica is the causative agent of amoebiasis, a poverty-related disease that kills an estimated 100 000 people each year. E. histolytica does not contain "standard mitochondria", but harbours mitochondrial...

PMID: 15985435
Mitochondrial remnant organelles (mitosomes) that exist in a range of "amitochondrial" eukaryotic organisms represent ideal models for the study of mitochondrial evolution and for the establishment of the minimal set...

PMID: 15940286
Mitochondria are the main sites of biological energy generation in eukaryotes. These organelles are remnants of a bacterial endosymbiont that took up residence inside a host cell over 1,500 million...
