Heat shock protein genes led to the discovery of mitosomes in Entamoeba histolytica, but mitosomes have not been described for any other Entamoeba species, nor have they been identified in the cyst stage. Here, we show that the distantly related reptilian pathogen Entamoeba invadens contains mitosomes, in both trophozoites and cysts, suggesting all Entamoeba species contain these organelles.
热休克蛋白基因促使在溶组织内阿米巴中发现了线粒体,但尚未在任何其他内阿米巴物种中描述过线粒体,在包囊阶段也未鉴定出它们。在这里,我们表明,亲缘关系较远的爬行动物病原体侵袭内阿米巴在滋养体和包囊中都含有线粒体,这表明所有内阿米巴物种都含有这些细胞器。
