Chapter2: Genomics and Proteomics - Protein evolution Flow of Change----------------------------- Selected advantage Disadvantage Exception: Silent mutation Ex: 3rd position in exons, untranslated regions Simplest change to a protein is the substitution of a single amino acid Then, what is the effect on the protein structure and function?
Chapter2: Genomics and Proteomics - Protein evolution 1 Insertion 2 Deletion – cystic fibrosis 3 Transpositions – degraded in the ER Other type of change
Chapter2: Genomics and Proteomics - Protein evolution • How do proteins develop new functions? • Divergence – progressive localized changes in sequence and structure • -> initially to change in specificity • -> ultimately to changes in the nature of the reaction catalysed • (2) Recruitment – one protein is adapted • (3)‘Mixing and matching’ of domains or modular evolution • large-scale structural changes • Individual domain-> gain of function, modified function, different processes. • Robustness of protein structure to mutations is • a maintenance of structure in spite of the divergence of sequences • during evolution
