Descripción
Protein folding and evolution are intimately linked phenomena. Here, we revisit the concept of exons as potential protein folding modules across a set of 38 abundant and conserved protein families. Taking advantage of genomic exon–intron organization and extensive protein sequence data, we explore exon boundary conservation and assess the foldon-like behavior of exons using energy landscape theoretic measurements. We found deviations in the exon size distribution from exponential decay indicating selection in evolution. We show that when taken together there is a pronounced tendency to independent foldability for segments corresponding to the more conserved exons, supporting the idea of exon–foldon correspondence. While 45% of the families follow this general trend when analyzed individually, there are some families for which other stronger functional determinants, such as preserving frustrated active sites, may be acting. We further develop a systematic partitioning of protein domains using exon boundary hotspots, showing that minimal common exons correspond with uninterrupted alpha and/or beta elements for the majority of the families but not for all of them.
