Figure 1 The domains of life. A diagrammatic representation of life as it can be viewed by classical (left) and molecular (right) taxonomists and phylogeneticists. Prior to the advent of molecular (16S rRNA sequence comparison) methods, four eukaryotic kingdoms and one prokaryotic kingdom, referred to as the Monera, were postulated. Molecular methods (Pace, 1996 Woese, 1987) have given rise to a dramatic revision of this view to one in which the four eukaryotic kingdoms are combined in the Eukarya, and the prokaryotes are expanded into two kingdoms, or domains, called the Bacteria and the Archea.

One of the characteristic structure of all coronins are their central WD40 domains (see ref 9 and Chapters 2 and 5). These repeats are characterized by a -30-40 amino acid residue segment that are bordered by Gly-His (GH) andTrp-Asp (WD) peptide tesidues. " The WD repeat unit was first recognized in the beta subunit of the GTP binding protein transducin. This domain seems to have evolved with the eukaryotic kingdom and may be involved in protein protein interactions, although the precise function of the WD repeat domains in many proteins remains unknown. ... 

VDAC channels with virtually the same properties have been isolated from mitochondria representing all the eukaryotic kingdoms (5). The only source of mitochondria lacking VDAC channels is a yeast strain whose VDAC gene was skillfully deleted (6, 7). 

Nucleosome structure - The bead particles are nucleosomes (or more precisely, nucleosomal core particles). They have a simple, definite composition that is practically invariant over the whole eukaryotic kingdom. Both nucleosomes and nucleosome histone cores have been crystallized. 

Other organisms have been reclassified as autonomous divisions -phylum, pi. phyla) within the eukaryotic kingdom of protista as listed roughly according to their 18s-rRNA similarities in Table 1. The table also includes those higher evolved systematic divisions that contain permanently or transiently motile forms, and a few model animals mentioned in this chapter. The new classification clarifies many inconsistencies created by the previous accidental lumping together of all simple...
