Origin of life: How microbes laid the foundation for complex cells

ETH Zurich researchers have discovered related structures in Asgard archaea and describe their structure in a newly published article in Cell .
The group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.
Scientists do not yet understand why tubulins appear so rarely in Lokiarchaea , or why they are needed.
The cytoskeleton was an important step in the evolution of eukaryotes.
It could have enabled Asgard archaea to form appendages, thereby allowing them to interact with, and then seize and engulf a bacterium.
Pilhofer and his colleagues plan to turn their attention to the function of actin filaments and archaeal tubulin along with microtubules.
