Figure S1: Relative initiation rate of mutation compared to wild type. The x-axis is the mutation position, each row in the y-axis is a different transcript. The scale shows values from the 2.5 percentile to the 97.5 percentile. In the graph, values lower than the 2.5 percentile are given the minimum green color and values above the 97.5 percentile are given the maximum red color. Blue indicate...

Serpins in prokaryotes.

Members of the serpin (serine proteinase inhibitor) superfamily have been identified in higher multicellular eukaryotes (plants and animals) and viruses but not in bacteria, archaea, or fungi. Thus, the ancestral serpin and the origin of the serpin inhibitory mechanism remain obscure. In this study we characterize 12 serpin-like sequences in the genomes of prokaryotic organisms, extending this ...

Promoter propagation in prokaryotes

Transcriptional activation or 'rewiring' of silent genes is an important, yet poorly understood, phenomenon in prokaryotic genomes. Anecdotal evidence coming from experimental evolution studies in bacterial systems has shown the promptness of adaptation upon appropriate selective pressure. In many cases, a partial or complete promoter is mobilized to silent genes from elsewhere in the genome. W...
