Horizontal gene transfer drives the evolution of Rh50 permeases in prokaryotes

BACKGROUND: Rh50 proteins belong to the family of ammonia permeases together with their Amt/MEP homologs. Ammonia permeases increase the permeability of NH(3)/NH(4) (+) across cell membranes and are believed to be involved in excretion of toxic ammonia and in the maintenance of pH homeostasis. RH50...
