- W3208746151 abstract "Abstract The origin of eukaryotic cell size and complexity is thought by some to have required an energy excess provided by mitochondria, whereas others claim that mitochondria provide no energetic boost to eukaryotes. Recent observations show that energy demand scales continuously and linearly with cell volume across both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and thus suggest that eukaryotes do not have an increased energetic capacity over prokaryotes. However, amounts of respiratory membranes and ATP synthases scale super-linearly with cell surface area. Furthermore, the energetic consequences of the contrasting genomic architectures between prokaryotes and eukaryotes have yet to be precisely quantified. Here, we investigated (1) potential factors that affect the cell volumes at which prokaryotes become surface area-constrained, (2) the amount of energy that is divested to increasing amounts of DNA due to the contrasting genomic architectures of prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and (3) the costs and benefits of respiring symbionts for a host cell. Our analyses suggest that prokaryotes are not necessarily constrained by their cell surfaces at cell volumes of 10 0 –10 3 μm 3 , and that the genomic architecture of eukaryotes is only slightly advantageous at genomes sizes of 10 6 –10 7 bp. This suggests that eukaryotes may have first evolved without the need for mitochondria as these ranges hypothetically encompass the Last Eukaryote Common Ancestor and its proto-eukaryotic ancestors. At these slightly larger cell volumes, a host cell may also have derived a greater advantage (lower cost) from harboring a population of ATP-producing symbionts. However, our analyses also show that increasingly larger and fast-dividing prokaryotes would have a shortage of surface area devoted to respiration and would disproportionally divest more energy to DNA synthesis at larger genome sizes. We thus argue that, even though mitochondria may not have been required by the first eukaryotes, the successful diversification of eukaryotes into larger and faster-growing cells was ultimately contingent upon the origin of mitochondria. Significance There has been a lot of theorizing about the evolution of eukaryotes from prokaryotes, but no consensus seems to be on the horizon. Our quantitative analyses on the required amount of respiratory membrane, and the amount of energy diverted to DNA synthesis, by both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, suggest that mitochondria provided rather small advantages to the first eukaryotes, but were advantageous for the macro-evolutionary diversification of eukaryotes. This conclusion provides a middle road in the debate between those that claim that the origin of eukaryotes required a massive energy boost provided by mitochondria, and those that argue that the origin of mitochondria did not represent a quantum leap in energetic advantages to eukaryotes." @default.
