The walls of ancient Asgard
Ubiquitin-linked ESCRT machinery, which participates in a wide variety of membrane remodelling events, was until recently considered a eukaryotic invention. Hatano and colleagues show that such a machinery existed prior to consolidation of the first eukaryotic common ancestor by investigating related ESCRT proteins and ubiquitin from ASGARD archaea. The work reveals structural and biochemical conservation and outlines potential steps in evolution leading to the present day ESCRT machinery >> Find out more [Paper]
