Horizontal transfer of bacterial polyphosphate kinases to eukaryotes: implications for the ice age and land colonisation

BACKGROUND: Studies of online database(s) showed that convincing examples of eukaryote PPKs derived from bacteria type PPK1 and PPK2 enzymes are rare and currently confined to a few simple eukaryotes. These enzymes probably represent several separate horizontal transfer events. Retention of such seq...
