  3. Epistasis Assume we have two loci, each bearing two alleles (Aa and Bb) Assume that the basal state of the population is homogenous with alleles ab f(A) - The relative fitness of A is defined using the growth rate of the genome Ab f(B) - The relative fitness of B is defined using the growth rate of the genome aB What is the fitness of AB? If the two loci are unrelated, we can expect it to be: f(Ab)*f(aB) When f(A)=1+s, f(B)=1+s’, and s,s’ are small, f(A)*f(B)~(1+s+s’) Epistasis is defined as the deviation from such linearity/independence: f(AB) > f(Ab)*f(aB): synergistic loci f(AB) < f(Ab)*f(aB): antagonistic loci + - A B A B AB AB How widespread is epistasis? Is it positive or negative in general? and how it affect evolution in general?

  4. Testing epistasis in viruses: directed mutagenesis 47 genotypes of vesicular stomatitis virus carrying pairs of nucleotide substitution mutations (filled) 15 genotypes carrying pairs of beneficial mutations (empty circles) Sanjuan, PNAS 2004

  5. Testing epistasis in viruses: HIV-1 isolated drug resistant strains Comparing growth in drug-free media (extracting viral sequence and reintegrating it in a virus model) Sequencing strains, comparing to some standard Plotting fitness relative to the number of mutations: For each pair of loci, compute average fitness for aa,aB,Aa and BB, then estimate epistasis. To assess significance, recompute the same after shuffling the sequences Effect is stronger when analysis is restricted to 59 loci with significant effect on fitness Mean is significantly higher than randomized means Results suggesting that epistasis tends to be positive (at least in these viruses and in this condition) Bonhoeffer et al, science 2004

  6. Functional sources for epistasis: • Protein structure (interacting residues) • Different positions in the same TFBS • Two interacting TFBSs • TF DNA binding domain and its target site • Two competing enzymes • Two competing TFBS • RNA paired bases • Groups of TFBSs at co-regulated promoters

  7. RNA folds and the function of RNA moelcules • RNA molecular perform a wide variety of functions in the cell • They differ in length and class, from very short miRNA to much longer rRNA or other structural RNAs. • They are all affected strongly by base-pairing – which make their structural mostly planar (with many exceptions!!) and relatively easy to model Simple RNA folding energy: number of matching basepairs or sum over basepairing weights More complex energy (following Zucker): each feature have an empirically determined parameters stem stacking energy (adding a pair to a stem) bulge loop length interior loop length hairpin loop length dangling nucleotides and so on. Pseudoknots (breaking of the basepairing hierarchy) are typically forbidden:

  8. Predicting fold structure Due to the hierarchical nature of the structure (assuming no pseudoknots), the situation can be analyzed efficiently using dynamic programming. We usually cannot be certain that there is a single, optimal fold, especially if we are not at all sure we are looking at a functional RNA. It would be better to have posterior probabilities for basepairing given the data and an energy model…This can be achieved using a generalization of HMM called Stochastic Context Free Grammar (SCFG)

  9. EvoFold: considering base-pairing as part of the evolutionary model Once base-pairing is predicted, the evolutionary model works with pairs instead of single nucleotides.By neglecting genomic context effects, this give rise to a simple-tree model and is easy to solve.If we want to simultaneously consider many possible base pairings, things are becoming more complicated.An exact algorithm that find the best alignment given the fold structure is very expensive (n^5) even when using base pairing scores and two sequences. Pedersen PloS CB 2006

  10. EvoFold: considering base-pairing as part of the evolutionary model Whenever we discover compensatory mutations, the prediction of a functional RNA becomes much stronger.

  11. Evolution of a regulatory module: eve stripe 2 in D. melanogaster and D. pseudoobscura mel pseudo While the two enhancers drive a conserved expression patter, we cannot mix and match them between species!Evolution therefore continuously compensate for changes in one part with changes in the other. Ludwig, Kreitmen 2000

  14. Co-regulation Is advantageous Disruption of regulation Is deleterious Rugged evolutionary landscape Regulation Scheme 1 Regulation Scheme 2 Coregulation: epistasis of transcriptional modules • Transcriptional modules are crucial for the organization and function of biological system • Gene co-regulation give rise to major epistatic relations among regulatory loci • epistasis reduces evolvability

  23. a, S. cerevisiae and C. albicans transcribe their genes according to one of three programs, which produce the a-, - and a/ -cells. The particular cell type produced is determined by the MAT locus, which encodes sequence-specific DNA-binding proteins. In S. cerevisiae, a-type mating is repressed in a-cells by a2. In C. albicans, a-type mating is activated in a-cells by a2. In both species, a-cells mate with a-cells to form a/a -cells, which cannot mate. a2 is an activator of a-type mating over a broad phylogenetic range of yeasts. In S. cerevisiae and close relatives, a2 is missing and a2 has taken over regulation of thetype. a2 Albicans a2 Cerevisiae Mating genes Tsong et al. 2006

  25. Innovation in a2 is observed along with the emergence of possible mcm2 interaction A redundant intermediate may have enable the switch
