Terminal regions of a protein are a hotspot for low complexity regions and selection.

Abstract excerpt

Volatile low complexity regions (LCRs) are a novel source of adaptive variation, functional diversification and evolutionary novelty. An interplay of selection and mutation governs the composition and length of low complexity regions. High %GC and mutations provide length variability because of mechanisms like replication slippage. Owing to the complex dynamics between selection and mutation, we need a better...
