This project investigates Monocercomonoides, a eukaryote that lacks mitochondria, to understand its unique cellular functions and the implications of mitochondrial loss. The research aims to establish this organism as a model for studying cellular processes without mitochondria.
Mitochondria are often referred to as the “power houses” of eukaryotic cells.
All eukaryotes were thought to have mitochondria of some form until 2016, when the first eukaryote thriving without mitochondria was discovered by our laboratory – a flagellate Monocercomonoides.
Understanding cellular functions of these cells, which represent a new functional type of eukaryotes, and understanding the circumstances of the unique event of mitochondrial loss are motivations for this proposal.
