One feature of eukaryotes is a complex endomembrane system, comprised of the various membranes that are suspended inside the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell. These critical membranes create different ...

The endomembrane system is a key feature of eukaryotic cells. Many of the major protein families involved in this system are largely conserved across eukaryotic species, from protists to megafauna.

Scientists have discovered that a group of bacteria possess proteins thought to exist only in eukaryotes. The discovery could yield evolutionary insights and a new model organism. Although they are ...

All protists, fungi, animals, and plants on Earth are eukaryotes. Their cells possess membrane-bound organelles including a nucleus and mitochondria, distinct cytoskeletal features, and a unique ...
