Found in translation: CCA-adding enzymes reveal bacterialization of Asgard archaea prior to eukaryogenesis

Ella Cassidy, Claudius Doktor, Heike Betat, Mario Mörl, Sonja J. Prohaska

The paper identifies CCA2 enzymes in Asgard archaea and Heimdallarchaeia, challenging the evolutionary separation between archaeal and eukaryotic CCA-adding enzymes and supporting bacterial gene integration prior to eukaryogenesis.
