This project investigates the origins of eukaryotic cells by studying Asgard archaea, which may provide insights into early cellular complexity. It employs advanced microscopy and structural genomics to explore the evolution of key proteins involved in eukaryogenesis.
The origin of the eukaryotic cell, with its complex and compartmentalized features, represents a prime hallmark in the evolution of life on Earth.
Yet, important details underpinning the emergence of cellular complexity of eukaryotic cells remain thus far unresolved.
Current views support evolutionary scenarios in which the first eukaryotic evolved via a merger between an archaeal host cell and one or more bacterial endosymbionts.
Recent phylogenomic work from my lab has shown that the archaeal…
