Proteins with highly evolvable domain architectures are non-essential but highly retained.

Dr. Hwang, Ming-Jing
Mol Biol Evol., Jan 14, 2016

The functions of proteins are usually determined by domains, and the sequential order in which domains are connected to make up a protein chain is known as the domain architecture. Here, we constructed evolutionary networks of protein domain architectures in species from three major life lineages (bacteria, fungi, and metazoans) by connecting any two architectures between which an evolutionary event could be inferred by a model that assumes maximum parsimony
