Dosage constraint of the ribosome-associated molecular chaperone drives the evolution and fates of its duplicates in bacteria
Gene duplication events presumably occur in <i>tig</i>, which encodes the ribosome-associated molecular chaperone trigger factor (TF). However, TF is singly copied in virtually every bacterium, and these exceptions with multiple TF homologs always retain only one complete copy while other homologs lack the N-terminal domain. Here, we reveal the manner and mechanism underlying the evolution and fates of TF duplicates in bacteria. We discovered that the mutation-to-loss or retention-to-sub/neofunctionalization of TF duplicates is associated with the dosage constraint of N-terminal complete TF. The dosage constraint of TF is attributed to its characteristic ribosome binding and substrate-holding activities, causing a decrease in protein productivity and profile changes in cellular proteome.
