Archaea bacteria are the
ancestral to the origin of life, which have evolved before bacteria by
thrived the functional genes for their successive adaptation. A
molecular clock analysis estimated that archaeal evolution was
originated between 3.8 to 2.5 Ga ago. To establish their morphogenesis
and biogenesis in the extreme environments during divergence, many super
gene families of archaeal domain well fluxed within the same genus and
some of the orthologs transferred to closely related bacteria and
eukarya. Nevertheless, only few of them stably established in archaeal
genome and showed its uniqueness to metabolisms and rest of them are
still unknown functions. Very often, some genes especially genes
involved in photorespiration might be degenerated by subsequent
diversification. The genes encoded for secularity features of archaea
bacteria could be either degenerated or regenerated with high evolution
rate. Metabolisms of methanogenesis, osmo- and thermoregulation, sulfur,
and heavy metal toxicity are still being exceptionally effective in all
archaea bacteria. On basis of homologous of amino acid sequence,
structural characteristics of proteins, and metabolomes, evolutionary
significance of this domain with other kingdom have been critically
reviewed here. This review will provide insight to future
biotechnological perspectives with archaeal genome. |
