Heterogeneity of genome and proteome content in bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes

Abstract

Our analysis compares bacteria, archaea, and eukaryota with respect to a wide assortment of genome and proteome properties. These properties include ribosomal protein gene distributions, chaperone protein contrasts, major variation of transcription/translation factors, gene encoding pathways of energy metabolism, and predicted protein expression levels. Significant differences within and between the three domains of life include protein lengths, information processing procedures, many metabolic and lipid biosynthesis pathways, cellular controls, and regulatory proteins. Differences among genomes are influenced by lifestyle, habitat, physiology, energy sources, and other factors.
