Sulfate assimilation in eukaryotes: fusions, relocations and lateral transfers (2008)
Patron, Nicola J, Durnford, Dion G, Kopriva, Stanislav
Abstract Background The sulfate assimilation pathway is present in photosynthetic organisms, fungi, and many bacteria, providing reduced sulfur for the synthesis of cysteine and methionine and a...
Patron, Nicola J, Waller, Ross F, Cozijnsen, Anton J, Straney, David C, Gardiner, Donald M, Nierman, William C, ...
Abstract Background Genes responsible for biosynthesis of fungal secondary metabolites are usually tightly clustered in the genome and co-regulated with metabolite production....
Horizontal transfer of a eukaryotic plastid-targeted protein gene to cyanobacteria (2007)
Rogers, Matthew B, Patron, Nicola J, Keeling, Patrick J
Abstract Background Horizontal or lateral transfer of genetic material between distantly related prokaryotes has been shown to play a major role in the evolution of bacterial and archaeal genomes,...
Macronuclear genome sequence of the ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila, a model eukaryote. (2006)
Eisen, Jonathan A, Coyne, Robert S, Wu, Martin, Wu, Dongying, Thiagarajan, Mathangi, Wortman, Jennifer R, ...
The ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila is a model organism for molecular and cellular biology. Like other ciliates, this species has separate germline and soma functions that are embodied by distinct...

Comparative rates of evolution in endosymbiotic nuclear genomes (2006)
Patron, Nicola J, Rogers, Matthew B, Keeling, Patrick J
Abstract Background The nucleomorphs associated with secondary plastids of cryptomonads and chlorarachniophytes are the sole examples of organelles with eukaryotic nuclear genomes. Although not as...

Reasons for the variable amylose content of endosperm starch from waxy cultivars of barley (Hordeum vulgare) were investigated. The mature grains of most such cultivars contain some amylose, although...
Johnson, Philip E., Patron, Nicola J., Bottrill, Andrew R., Dinges, Jason R., Fahy, Brendan F., Parker, Mary L., ...
To provide information on the roles of the different forms of ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase (AGPase) in barley (Hordeum vulgare) endosperm and the nature of the genes encoding their subunits, a...
Patron, Nicola J., Greber, Boris, Fahy, Brendan F., Laurie, David A., Parker, Mary L., Denyer, Kay
Much of the ADP-Glc required for starch synthesis in the plastids of cereal endosperm is synthesized in the cytosol and transported across the plastid envelope. To provide information on the nature...
Patron, Nicola J., Rogers, Matthew B., Keeling, Patrick J.
Plastids (photosynthetic organelles of plants and algae) are known to have spread between eukaryotic lineages by secondary endosymbiosis, that is, by the uptake of a eukaryotic alga by another...
A high frequency of overlapping gene expression in compacted eukaryotic genomes
Williams, Bryony A. P., Slamovits, Claudio H., Patron, Nicola J., Fast, Naomi M., Keeling, Patrick J.
The gene density of eukaryotic nuclear genomes is generally low relative to prokaryotes, but several eukaryotic lineages (many parasites or endosymbionts) have independently evolved highly compacted,...
