Epistasis between synonymous and nonsynonymous mutations in <i>Dictyostelium discoideum</i> ammonium transporter <i>amtA</i> drives functional complementation in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>
2022-04-08
Abstract excerpt
Role of H orizontal G ene T ransfer (HGT) in evolution transcends across the three domains of life. Ammonium transporters are present in all species and therefore offer an excellent paradigm to study protein evolution following HGT. While investigating HGT through complementation assay, we observed that synonymous and nonsynonymous mutations follow an epistastic relationship. As a proxy for HGT, we attempted to...
