Bacterial sensor evolved by decreasing complexity

Elizabet Monteagudo‐Cascales, José A. Gavira, Jiawei Xing, Félix Velando, Miguel A. Matilla, Igor B. Zhulin, Tino Krell

This study shows how a bacterial chemoreceptor evolved from a bimodular to a monomodular domain by losing one module, revealing that reducing complexity may be a common evolutionary trend in sensory domains.

Protection of catalytic cofactors by polypeptides as a driver for the emergence of primordial enzymes

Luis I. Gutierrez-Rus, Gloria Gamiz-Arco, José Antonio Gavira, Eric A. Gaucher, Valeria A. Risso, José M. Sánchez‐Ruiz

The paper identifies heme protection by polypeptides as a mechanism enhancing catalytic efficiency in ancestral proteins, suggesting it may have driven the evolution of enzymes.
