Abstract Background Recent sequence-structure studies on P-loop-fold NTPases have substantially advanced the existing understanding of their evolution and functional diversity. These studies provide a framework for characterization of novel lineages within this fold and prediction of their functional properties. Results Using sequence profile searches and homology-based structure prediction we have identified a previously uncharacterized family of P-loop NTPases which includes the neuronal membrane protein and receptor tyrosine kinase substrate Kidins220 ARMS which is conserved in animals the F-plasmid PifA protein involved in phage T7 exclusion and several uncharacterized bacterial proteins. We refer to these predicted NTPases as the KAP family after Kidins220 ARMS and PifA. The KAP family NTPases are sporadically distributed across a wide phylogenetic range in bacteria but among the eukaryotes are represented only in animals. Many of the prokaryotic KAP NTPases are encoded in plasmids and tend to undergo disruption to form pseudogenes. A unique feature of all eukaryotic and .
