- W4386208950 abstract "Abstract Living organisms are multiscale complex systems that have evolved high degrees of multifunctionality and redundancy in the structure–function relationship. A number of factors, only in part determined genetically, affect the jobs of proteins. The overall structural organization confers unique molecular properties that provide the potential to perform a pattern of activities, some of which are co‐opted by specific environments. The variety of multifunctional proteins is expanding, but most cases are handled individually and according to the still dominant ‘one structure–one function’ approach, which relies on the attribution of canonical names typically referring to the first task identified for a given protein. The present topical review focuses on the multifunctionality of ion channels as a paradigmatic example. Mounting evidence reports the ability of many ion channels (including members of voltage‐dependent, ligand‐gated and transient receptor potential families) to exert biological effects independently of their ion conductivity. ‘Functionally based’ nomenclature (the practice of naming a protein or family of proteins based on a single purpose) is a conceptual bias for three main reasons: (i) it increases the amount of ambiguity, deceiving our understanding of the multiple contributions of biomolecules that is the heart of the complexity; (ii) it is in stark contrast to protein evolution dynamics, largely based on multidomain arrangement; and (iii) it overlooks the crucial role played by the microenvironment in adjusting the actions of cell structures and in tuning protein isoform diversity to accomplish adaptational requirements. Biological information in protein physiology is distributed among different entwined layers working as the primary ‘locus’ of natural selection and of evolutionary constraints. image" @default.
