Identification of functional similarities between proteins using directed evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Protein sequences are often highly redundant and evolution can change them beyond recognition. It can therefore be difficult to identify proteins with functional or structural similarities by inspection of their sequences. Here we have used an experimental evolutionary approach to detect hidden similarities between the antisense RNA-binding protein Rop and other proteins. We created an envelope of functional Rop...
