A widely employed germ cell marker is an ancient disordered protein with reproductive functions in diverse eukaryotes

A widely employed germ cell marker is an ancient disordered protein with reproductive functions in diverse eukaryotes

The advent of sexual reproduction and the evolution of a dedicated germline in multicellular organisms are critical landmarks in eukaryotic evolution. We report an ancient family of GCNA (germ cell nuclear antigen) proteins that arose in the earliest eukaryotes, and feature a rapidly evolving intrin...
