“…It is still debated if bacterial arginine kinases identified in those few species are evidence of ancient evolutionary history of N -phosphoarginine and phosphoramidates or have been acquired by horizontal gene transfer from eukaryotes [ 53 , 54 , 55 ]. Other, less studied phosphagen kinases that were identified in invertebrates include hypotaurocyamine kinase (EC 2.7.3.6) [ 77 ], so far identified only in peanut worms [ 78 ], glycocyamine kinase (EC 2.7.3.1), lombricine and thalessemine kinases (EC 2.7.3.5), opheline kinase (EC 2.7.3.7), and taurocyamine kinase (EC 2.7.3.4) [ 51 , 79 , 80 ], identified mostly in annelids with several potential examples identified in trematodes [ 59 , 81 , 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 ] and unicellular oomycetes [ 51 , 79 , 80 ]. One phosphagen kinase, agmatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.10), appears to be specific only to protozoa [ 90 ] ( Table 1 ).…”
