Proteins with amino acid repeats constitute rapidly evolvable and human-specific essentialome
2022-12-30
Abstract excerpt
Protein products of essential genes, indispensable for organismal survival, are highly conserved and bring about fundamental functions. Interestingly, proteins that contain amino acid homorepeats that tend to evolve rapidly are enriched in eukaryotic essentialomes. Why are proteins with hypermutable homorepeats enriched in conserved and functionally vital essential proteins? We solve this function versus evolution...
