Eukaryotes Multicellular organisms and protists. All eukaryotic cells contain a nucleus.

The Ca2+-binding subunit TN-C is homologous to calmodulin with four EF-hands. In contrast to calmodulin, which is ubiquitously expressed in multicellular eukaryotic organisms and interacts with many targets, troponin specifically regulates muscle contraction. There are some structural differences between Troponin C in skeletal and cardiac muscles reflecting their physiological differences. 

Although many prokaryotic organisms are single-celled (unicellular), some exist as multicellular filaments or collections of cells. Eukaryotic organisms may be unicellular or multicellular. Most eukaryotic cells are at least 5 pm in diameter, but many are much larger. The cells of most prokaryotes are small, ranging from 0.2 to 1 / m in diameter, but a few are much larger. 

LGT is not expected to be common among or play the same role in the evolution of multicellular plants and animals, especially those with sequestered germ lines, and there simply is no extensive data on LGT in unicellular eukaryotes. 

It is also clear that copper is of little significance in most of these organisms relative to its multitude of roles in multicellular eukaryotes, while in these eukaryotes the role of nickel and cobalt is further diminished. We may conjecture that biological systems did not use copper extensively before the advent of an oxidizing atmosphere based on dioxygen (Frausto da Silva and Williams, 1991).

Murray and Hunt, 1993). Cyclins, kinases, and phosphatases that regulate the passage of the cell through the G] — S phase transition are all present in mammals, invertebrates, and plants (Solomon, 1993 Doonan and Fobart, 1997 Zavitz and Zipursky, 1997). However, multicellular eukaryotes contain multiple orthologs of yeast cell cycle proteins they initiate proliferation via growth factors, rather than, for example, yeast mating factors, and they possess additional checkpoint controls and repair pathways. 

A more detailed breakdown of the fold abundance by individual genomes shows the same trends, as well as a number of unique features (Fig. 6, see color insert). The latter include, for example, the marked overrepresentation of Rossmann-fold domains in Mycobacterium, flavo-doxins in Synechocystis and methyltransferases in Helicobacter. Furthermore, the differences in fold distribution between the multicellular eukaryote Caenorhabditis elegans and the unicellular yeast become readily apparent. In the nematode, the protein kinases are the most common fold, with the P-loops relegated to the second position in contrast, the yeast distribution is more similar to that seen in prokaryotes (Fig. 6). 

Complex multicellular cells, such as those of plants and humans, are termed eukaryotes. The cell structure is considerably more complex than that of the prokaryote cells (see Fig. A2.3 for a human eukaryote cell plant cells are not shown they have a well-defined cell wall and different structure). 

Protists Eukaryotic microorganisms that are neither animal, fungi, plant, or archaean. Unicellular forms include the amoeboid protozoans and algae, such as the foraminferans and radiolarians, and dinoflagellates and diatoms, respectively. Some algae are either multicellular or colonial, such as the red algae and freshwater Volvox, respectively.
