Importantly, although chromosomes are dynamic organdies, the epigenetic information can be quite stable, surviving multiple rounds of mitotic cell division (Cavalli and Paro 1998), meiosis (Cavalli and Paro 1998), or even nuclear transfer (Ng and Gurdon 2005). Andersson of Dalhousie University in Halifax in Nova Scotia explores the controversial idea that the genomes of Buchnera and other endosymbionts could be heading toward a permanent fusion with their host cells and may eventually come to resemble organdies. Because mitochondria are redox active organdies, there is a likelihood of altering ROS production and thereby overloading or interfering with antioxidant defenses (Figure 3). |
