Unraveling the evolutionary origin of the P5CS gene: a story of gene fusion and horizontal transfer

Unraveling the evolutionary origin of the P5CS gene: a story of gene fusion and horizontal transfer

The accumulation of proline in response to the most diverse types of stress is a widespread defense mechanism. In prokaryotes, fungi, and certain unicellular eukaryotes (green algae), the first two reactions of proline biosynthesis occur through two distinct enzymes, γ-glutamyl kinase (GK E.C. 2.7.2...
