Evolutionary schematic showing unique mitochondrial features to euglenida, with features observed only in Euglenac gracilis denoted by *. Common features discovered in this study with the Trypanosoma brucei mitoproteome are listed, which were likely present in the mitochondria of the last euglenozoan common ancestor. Over 30 RNA editing enzymes appear to be present in this ancestor, which led to development of different RNA editing pathways in diplonemid and kinetoplastid lineages, denoted by.
