Functional analyses of the horizontally acquired Phytophaga glycoside hydrolase family 45 (GH45) proteins reveal distinct functional characteristics
André Busch, Étienne Danchin, Yannick Pauchet
The paper analyzes GH45 proteins from Phytophaga beetles to determine their enzymatic functions and evolutionary origins, finding they degrade multiple substrates and were horizontally transferred from fungi.
