Phycodnavirus potassium ion channel proteins question the virus molecular piracy hypothesis.

Phycodnavirus potassium ion channel proteins question the virus molecular piracy hypothesis.

Phycodnaviruses are large dsDNA, algal-infecting viruses that encode many genes with homologs in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Among the viral gene products are the smallest proteins known to form functional K(+) channels. To determine if these viral K(+) channels are the product of molecular piracy f...
