In the new study, researchers in the group of Iain Mattaj, Director General of EMBL, are the first to provide molecular evidence that the coat proteins that shape the eukaryotic endomembrane system also exist in prokaryotes.
-
In eukaryotes, the endomembrane system is a network of membrane-bound compartments which stores and transports material within the cell.
-
Scientists believed that membrane-bound compartments were unique to eukaryotic cells, and that membrane-coat proteins, which have a unique architecture and are associated with the endomembrane system, existed only in eukaryotes.

The prokaryotes that evolved into mitochondria introduced roughly 3,000 new protein families, permitting the development of such complex processes as multicellularity, endomembrane trafficking, and even sexual reproduction.
