Last, our results reveal that the earliest biologically functional peptides were likely available before the assembly of fully functional protein domains over 3.8 billion years ago.Thus, life is a special, very complex form of motion of matter, but this form did not always exist, and it is not separated from inorganic nature by an impassable abyss rather, it arose from inorganic nature as a new property in the process of evolution of the world. We observe that structures central to our similarity network come primarily from oxidoreductases, suggesting that ancestral peptides may have also facilitated electron transfer reactions.

Similarity across folds reflects the availability of key transition metals over geological time and strongly suggests that transition metal–ligand binding had a small number of common peptide origins.

Our analysis reveals that the folds that bind transition metal–containing ligands have similar structural geometry and amino acid sequences across the full diversity of proteins. Using a novel, structure-guided sequence analysis of proteins, we explored the patterns of evolution of enzymes responsible for these reactions. The tunable allosteric linkage across distant regions can be used as a pivotal component in the design/engineering of modular biological systems beyond the traditional scaffolding function.īiological redox reactions drive planetary biogeochemical cycles. fold type, size, and oligomerization states) and the types of diversifications/perturbations, such as mutations, effector binding, and order-disorder transition. In particular, results described here may guide the identification of the optimal structural platforms (e.g. Our observations will be instrumental in facilitating the engineering and de novo design of proteins with allosterically regulated functions, including development of therapeutic biologics. We obtained a picture of conserved allosteric communication characteristic in different fold types, modifications of the structure-driven signalling patterns via sequence-determined divergence to specific functions, as well as emergence and potential diversification of allosteric regulation in multi-domain proteins and oligomeric assemblies. Learning directly from nature, we explored here allosteric communication in several major folds and repeat proteins, including α/β and β-barrels, β-propellers, Ig-like fold, ankyrin and α/β leucine-rich repeat proteins, which provide structural platforms for many different enzymatic and signalling functions. Pervasiveness and advantageous traits of allostery made it an important component of the protein function regulation, calling for thorough investigation of its structural determinants and evolution.
