Regulatory evolution across the protein interaction network.

Abstract excerpt

Protein-protein interactions may impose constraints on both structural and regulatory evolution. Here we show that protein-protein interactions are negatively associated with evolutionary variation in gene expression. Moreover, interacting proteins have similar levels of variation in expression, and their expression levels are positively correlated across strains. Our results suggest that interacting proteins...
