#eukaryotes Story of its #Archaeal Ancestry |. The traditional grouping of life forms into #prokaryotes and eukaryotes was revised in 1977 when rRNA sequence characterisation revealed that #archaea (then called ‘archaebacteria’) are ‘‘as distantly related to #bacteria as bacteria are to eukaryotes.‘’ T....

New #cryoET structure from LSI Exeter colleagues Matthew Gaines et al. Bertram Daum lab, this time of the enigmatic #archaeal filament called 'thread'.

What I find cool about this work is that first they had the structure, then found the sequence based on glycosylation sites and bulky residues.
This #protein was also so ultra-stable, that resisted trypsinisation, so mass spec was not an option to identify it.
