Congratulations to Val Karavaeva and Filipa Sousa on their new publication in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta Bioenergetics (BBA):

"Modular structure of complex II: An evolutionary perspective" 

Abstract

Succinate dehydrogenases (SDHs) and fumarate reductases (FRDs) catalyse the interconversion of succinate and fumarate, a reaction highly conserved in all domains of life. The current classification of SDH/FRDs is based on the structure of the membrane anchor subunits and their cofactors. It is, however, unknown whether this classification would hold in the context of evolution. In this work, a large-scale comparative genomic analysis of complex II addresses the questions of its taxonomic distribution and phylogeny. ...
