- W3101864466 abstract "Abstract The reactions of functional molecules like proteins and RNAs to mutation affect both host cell viability and biomolecular evolution. These molecules are considered robust if function is maintained despite mutations. Proteins and RNAs have different structural and functional characteristics that affect their robustness, and to date, comparisons between them have been theoretical. In this work, we test the relative mutational robustness of RNA and protein pairs using three approaches: evolutionary, structural, and functional. We compare the nucleotide diversities of functional RNAs with those of matched proteins. Across different levels of conservation, we found the nucleotide-level variations between the biomolecules largely overlapped, with proteins generally supporting more variation than matched RNAs. We then directly tested the robustness of the protein and RNA pairs with in vitro and in silico mutagenesis of their respective genes. The in silico experiments showed that proteins and RNAs reacted similarly to point mutations and insertions or deletions, yet proteins are slightly more robust on average than RNAs. In vitro , mutated fluorescent RNAs retained greater levels of function than the proteins. Overall this suggests that proteins and RNAs have remarkably similar degrees of robustness, with the average protein having moderately higher robustness than RNA as a group. Significance Statement The ability of proteins and non-coding RNAs to maintain function despite mutations in their respective genes is known as mutational robustness. Robustness impacts how molecules maintain and change phenotypes, which has a bearing on the evolution and the origin of life as well as influencing modern biotechnology. Both protein and RNA have mechanisms that allow them to absorb DNA-level changes. Proteins have a redundant genetic code and non-coding RNAs can maintain structure and function through flexible base-pairing possibilities. The few theoretical treatments comparing protein and RNA robustness differ in their conclusions. In this experimental comparison of protein and RNA, we find that they have remarkably similar degrees of overall genetic robustness." @default.
