Stability evolution as a major mechanism of human protein adaptation in response to viruses
2022-12-01
Abstract excerpt
Pathogens were a major driver of genetic adaptation during human evolution. Viruses in particular were a dominant driver of adaptation in the thousands of proteins that physically interact with viruses (VIPs for Virus-Interacting Proteins). This however poses a conundrum. The best understood cases of virus-driven adaptation in specialized immune antiviral factors or in host viral receptors are numerically vastly i...
