Although the endosymbiotic theory of evolution (Margulis 1970) is widely accepted, the series of events that led to the permanent inclusion of mitochondria and chloroplasts in eukaryotic cells are poorly understood. In particular, the diverse biochemical and morphological properties of chloroplasts have led to suggestions that these organelles have been acquired through multiple primary endosymbiotic events (for a review see Delwiche 1999). Furthermore, the presence of three and sometimes four (Gibbs 1962) membranes around certain chloroplasts, some in association with a second nucleus, suggests that secondary endosymbiosis—the incorporation within a eukaryote of a heritable organelle from another eukaryote—has also occurred (Gibbs 1981). Secondary endosymbioses may also have occurred more than once (Delwiche and Palmer 1997; Delwiche 1999); in fact, the possibility that some autotrophic eukaryotes lost their photosynthetic organelles only to regain them in a later endosymbiotic event cannot be excluded. The occurrence of such multiple, sequential endosymbiotic events can only be proven if some remnant of the first endosymbiont was retained by the host cell. Nuclearencoded genes for chloroplast proteins, for example GAPDH, could provide such evidence. Although phylogenetic analyses have resolved cytosolic (GapC) and chloroplast (GapA) sequences into two distinct clades (Martin et al. 1993; Liaud et al. 1997), recent studies of gapdh isoforms from marine algae have complicated the simple cytosol-chloroplast tree structure. In the dinoflagellate Lingulodinium polyedrum (Stein) Dodge, formerly Gonyaulax polyedra, and in two cryptomonads (Guillardia theta and Pyrenomonas salina) the role of GAPDH in the Calvin cycle is filled by a modified cytosolic isoform (GapC-I), which has a signal sequence at the N-terminal end for intracellular translocation to the chloroplast and, consistent with its anabolic role, amino acid substitutions that allow binding of NADPH (Liaud et al. 1997; Fagan, Hastings, and Morse 1998). Phylogenetic analysis places GapC-I firmly in the cytosolic clade (Fagan, Hastings, and Morse 1998). Homologous isoforms have been identified subsequently in heterokonts and apicomplexans (Liaud et al. 2000; Fast et al. 2001). How the GapC-I isoform was acquired and how pervasive it is among dinoflagellates is unknown. We proposed that it was obtained through lateral transfer
