Because structural form is usually assumed to follow function in biochemistry, these assemblies are thought to evolve because they provide some functional advantage. In many cases, however, no specific advantage is known and, in some cases, quaternary structure varies among orthologs. This has led to the proposition that self-assembly may instead vary neutrally within protein families. The extent of such variation has been difficult to ascertain because quaternary structure has until recently been difficult to measure on large scales. Here, we employ mass photometry, phylogenetics, and structural biology to interrogate the evolution of homo-oligomeric assembly across the entire phylogeny of prokaryotic citrate synthases - an enzyme with a highly conserved function. We discover a menagerie of different assembly types that come and go over the course of evolution, including cases of parallel evolution and reversions from complex to simple assemblies. Functional experiments in vitro and in vivo indicate that evolutionary transitions between different assemblies do not strongly influence enzyme catalysis. Our work suggests that enzymes can wander relatively freely through a large space of possible assemblies and demonstrates the power of characterizing structure-function relationships across entire phylogenies. |
