Article Title: Evolutionary origins and innovations sculpting the mammalian PRPS enzyme complex
doi: 10.1101/2024.10.01.616059
Figure Lengend Snippet: a) The catalytic flexible (CF) loop from the sequence alignments of PRPS homologs from representative organisms of Opisthokonta, Amoebozoa (Evosea), Apusozoa, and CRuMs. PrsA in Evosea is the PRPS enzyme while PrsB represents the PRPS homologs with insertions in the CF loop (NHRs), similar to Opisthokonta PRPSAP2. PRPS homologs in Apusozoa and CRuMs that share features with Opisthokonta PRPSAP2 are termed “PRPSAP-like”. Underlined residues denote the NHRs. For S. cerevisiae Prs1 and D. rotans PRPSAP-like sequence, only a part of the insertion is shown, and the rest of the sequence is represented by hatch marks. b) PRPS paralogs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Homo sapiens showing relative positions of non-homologous regions – NHR1 of Prs1, NHR5-1 and NHR5-2 of Prs5, NHRs of PRPSAP1 and PRPSAP2. The open bar represents the polypeptide for Prs2, Prs3, and Prs4 in S. cerevisiae , and for PRPS1 and PRPS2 in H. sapiens . The insertion points for Prs1, Prs5, PRPSAP1, and PRPSAP2 are marked, with NHRs indicated as triangles either above or below the open bar. The residue numbers on the NHRs indicate the amino acid positions on the respective homologs. c) and d) The N-terminal residues from a sequence alignment of PRPS homologs from representative organisms of Amorphea. Opisthokonta PRPSAP2 sequences are more similar to Opisthokonta PRPS enzymes (blue box) than to PRPS from Apusozoa, Breviatea and Amoebozoa (c) while Evosea PrsB sequences are more similar to Evosea PrsA (red box) than to PRPS from Apusozoa, Breviatea and Opisthokonta (d) indicating that PRPSAP2 and PrsB likely emerged independently from ancestral Opisthokonta PRPS1 and Evosea PrsA, respectively. e) Analysis of conserved splice site junction among PrsA and PrsB homologs across different representative organisms of Evosea. Exons from each of the Prs encoding genes are merged to highlight the splice site junctions. PrsA shares a conserved splice site junction – LH_(A/S)S – with PrsB, further supporting that PrsB likely originated from a gene duplication event in the ancestral Evosea PrsA.
