Ents was preceded or accompanied by duplication of the genes for the chaperone proteins (Hsp70, Hsp90, DnaJ, etc.), which are necessary for protein transport and communication within the compartments. The transfer of the genome from the gram-negative eubacterium to the newly formed nucleus and an assortment and integration of genes from the two partners led to the formation of the ancestral eukary

E signature sequences in different proteins support the division of Archaebacteria into two distinct groups (Euryarchaeota and Crenarchaeota) and of gram-positive bacteria into at least two groups, corresponding to the low-G C and high-G C species, of which the high-G C group is specifically related to the diderm prokaryotes. The DeinococcusThermus group of species appears to be intermediate in th
Distinction within prokaryotes, formingthe primary taxonomic division within them, which is supported by both molecular sequence data and morphological features, is of the monoderm prokaryotes (Monodermata, i.e., those bounded by a single cell membrane) and the diderm prokaryotes (Didermata, i.e., those bounded by inner and outer cell membranes defining a periplasmic compartment). In that sense, b
