title: Organelle evolution: a mosaic of 'mitochondrial' functions.
abstract: An ancient endosymbiosis of an α-proteobacterium produced a diverse range of organelles including mitochondria. Reconstruction of the Pygsuia biforma proteome adds to the mosaic of functional systems present in mitochondrial-related organelles and demonstrates the role of horizontal gene transfer.
