The compressed vocabulary of the proteins of archaea

摘要: The origin and evolution of molecular functions hold the key to emergence modern biochemistry cellular organization. Here we explore existence a growing vocabulary in proteins Archaea. A genomic census structural domains its mappings Gene Ontology terms provides raw data for search meaningful patterns processes that drive change. We present evidence supporting statistical laws language socioeconomic-linked diffusion innovation models intricately embedded both protein structure domain Patterns diversification organismal repertoires (proteomes) (functionomes) reveal their makeup depends on trade-off solutions between three principles favor persistence: economy, flexibility robustness. find microbes Archaea Bacteria maximize while eukaryotic organisms In process, archaeal engage extreme semantic pragmatic compression messages response evolutionary constraints, which were probably historically imposed by microbial lifestyle harsh environments. preserves an economy-driven primordial is highly homogeneous most ancient world.
