Document Summary

Most of proteins required for organelle function genes found in the nucleus. Elysia nucleus: has mitochondria genes, required for proteins, are found in, has chloroplasts genes, required for proteins, are not found in nucleus but they still maintain function even after proteins get degraded. Maybe as vaucheria was chomping down on nucleus maybe some chloroplast genes moved from nucleus of vaucheria to nucleus of. **vertical gene transfer (one generation to another) Evidence that horizontal gene transfer of the algal nuclear gene psbo to the photosynthetic sea slug elysia chlorotica. Encodes manganese-stabilizing protein: part of oxygen evolving complex. Elysia has a copy of gene that codes for protein. Amplified portion of psbo transcript (abundance of message in the cytosol waiting to be translated) Wouldn"t expect elysia to have psbo transcript. 5 months after feeding if it actually came from feeding off vaucheria - wouldn"t be any transcript left. Suggest that these transcripts are from a gene that elysia has.
