摘要
Cultivation-independent proteogenomic exploration of mine-drainage biofilm has revealed proteasomes in Gram-negative bacteria of the Nitrospirae phylum (Leptospirillum group 11) dominating this acidophilic community. Most probably, the proteasome genes were acquired from actinobacteria, the only eubacteria previously known to contain proteasomes. In addition, this study shows that the proteasome and the evolutionarily related ATP-dependent protease HsIVU (also known as CIpQY) are not mutually exclusive in prokaryotes.
