Main Results:

  • Protein evolution is more complex than previously understood.
  • Protein dispensability, expression, functional density, and genetic modularity independently impact evolutionary rates.
  • Proteomes appear to have evolved under a combination of selection regimes.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple factors independently influence protein evolutionary rates.
  • A comprehensive model of protein evolution requires integrating diverse functional genomic data.
  • Future research with more data from various organisms will refine evolutionary models.
