CysQ of , a Protozoa, May Have Been Acquired from Bacteria by Horizontal Gene Transfer by Ji Young Lee, Sangsoo Kim

“…According to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway, the sulfate assimilation pathway, where CysQ plays an important role, is well conserved in most eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. However, the Apicomplexa, including C. parvum, largely lack orthologous genes of the pathway, suggesting its loss in those protozoan lineages. …”
