Abstract excerpt
We highlight new evolutionary insights enabled by recent genome-wide studies on protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks ('interactomes'). While most PPIs are mediated by a single sequence region promoting or inhibiting interactions, many PPIs are mediated by multiple sequence regions acting cooperatively. Most PPIs perform important functions maintained by negative selection: we estimate that less than ∼10% of...
