Asgard Arf GTPases can act as membrane-associating molecular switches with the potential to function in organelle biogenesis

Abstract Inward membrane budding, i.e., the bending of membrane towards the cytosol, is essential for forming and maintaining eukaryotic organelles. In eukaryotes, Arf GTPases initiate this inward budding. Our research shows that Asgard archaea genomes encode putative Arf proteins (AArfs). AArfs pos...
