Abstract:150 words) 21 Although the primary protein sequence of ubiquitin (Ub) is extremely stable over evolutionary 22 time, it is highly tolerant to mutation during selection experiments performed in the laboratory. 23 We have proposed that this discrepancy results from the difference between fitness under 24 laboratory culture conditions and the selective pressures in changing environments over 25 evolutionary time scales. Building on our previous work (Mavor et al 2016), we used deep 26 mutational scanning to d… Show more
