Figure 4.

The evolution of Golgi-associated machinery in the six eukaryotic supergroups. This diagram shows the diverse eukaryotic supergroups with gains (blue) and losses (red) of Golgi-associated factors across the various lineages. Proposed losses are only those with multiple taxa in a lineage, to be more confident in ascribed absence. Note that the majority of examined machinery was already present in the LECA, with BARS and TANGO likely being metazoa-specific innovations.
