Evolution of the Golgi complex

  • Chapter
The Golgi Apparatus

Abstract

The Golgi complex evolved very early during the origin of the eukaryotic cell. It is present in every eukaryote living today, including parasitic lineages formerly considered as Golgi-lacking (Bredeston et al. 2005; Dacks et al. 2003; Dacks and Doolittle 2002; Marti et al. 2003), and thus was present in the last common eukaryotic ancestor (LCEA). Its origin traces back to a protoeukaryotic stage and was a significant step in the prokaryote-eukaryote transition, one of the major transitions in the history of the biosphere (Maynard Smith and Szathmary 1995). The Golgi evolved into a compartment with a central role in the modification and sorting of secreted and membrane proteins as well as proteins destined for other intracellular cosmpartments (e.g. lysosomes).
