Here, we describe the first genome sequence from amesophilic, unicellular red alga,Porphyridium purpureum. The 8,355 predicted genes inP. purpureum, hundreds of which are likely to be implicated in a history of horizontal genetransfer, reside in a genome of 19.7 Mbp with 235 spliceosomal introns. Analysis oflight-harvesting complex proteins reveals a nuclear-encoded phycobiliprotein in the alga.We uncover a complex set of carbohydrate-active enzymes, identify the genes required forthe methylerythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis, and find evidence ofsexual reproduction. Analysis of the compact, function-rich genome ofP. purpureumsuggeststhat ancestral lineages of red algae acted as mediators of horizontal gene transfer betweenprokaryotes and photosynthetic eukaryotes, thereby significantly enriching genomes acrossthe tree of photosynthetic life.Lire moins >
