A hydrogen-producing mitochondrion in an anaerobic eukaryotrophic rhizarian

Diverse eukaryotes thrive under low oxygen conditions, in part through highly modified mitochondrion-related organelles (MROs) that use alternate metabolic pathways to support ATP production and cofactor recycling. Anaerobic lifestyles have evolved repeatedly across the eukaryotic tree of life, each providing an indepe...

Mitochondria before we knew them.

In this issue of Cell, Chen et al. chart mitochondrial proteome diversity across eukaryotes, revealing an unexpectedly complex ancestral proteome alongside extensive lineage-specific innovation. Their broad phylogenetic reconstruction provides new insights into the mitochondrial proteome of the last eukaryotic common a...
