Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Publication Abstract from PubMed Evolutionary processes that led to the emergence of structured protein domains left footprints in the sequences of modern proteins. We searched for such hints employing state-of-the-art sequence analysis and found evidence that the HemD-like fold emerged from the flavodoxin-like fold through segment swap and gene duplication. To verify this hypothesis, we reverted these evolutionary steps experimentally, constructing a HemD-half that resulted in a protein with the canonical flavodoxin-like architecture. These results of fold reconstruction from the sequence of a different fold strongly support our hypothesis of common ancestry. It further illustrates the plasticity of modern proteins to form new folded proteins.
