The first, "introns-early", posits that introns were present in most, if not all, protein-coding genes in the last universal common ancestor (LUCA) and have subsequently been lost in the archaeal and bacterial domains due to strong selection for compact genomes.
In contrast, the DPBBs detected in DDRP subunits are universally present in all modern life forms and hence are traceable to LUCA.
Although the sequences of the Zn-ribbons of bacterial and archaeo-eukaryotic DDRP subunits have diverged considerably, their similar location in the orthologous polypeptides from different kingdoms suggests that β' subunit of LUCA already contained a Zn-ribbon.
Hence, considerable diversity of protein domains appears to have emerged prior to the "crystallization" [ 95 ] of a transcription machinery similar to the one that operates in modern cells and probably had been already in place in LUCA [ 96 ] . Similar conclusions regarding the early stages of protein domain evolution have been reached previously as a result of evolutionary analysis of proteins involved in translation, such as aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases and GTPases: substantial diversification of protein domains had occurred prior to the "crystallization" of elaborate, modern-type translation machinery [ 66 97 ] .
Luca della Robbia’s subdued glazed ceramic roundels depict the 12 Apostles and Four Evangelists.
