Duplication-degeneration-complementation (DDC) describes a process by which evolving duplicates of a pleiotropic ancestral gene divide up the multiple functions of the ancestor between them (i.e. subfunctionalize), and this ultimately frustrates the rate of pseudogene formation. Focusing explicitly on enzyme-like pleiotropic function, we model DDC driven by sequence divergence between duplicates. The model incorporates an idealized sequence-function mapping in which enzyme-substrate binding affinity is related to hydrophobic versus polar (HP) amino-acid composition of tertiary structure about the binding pocket. In this sense, a transparent coupling between physical-chemical function of an enzyme and sequence evolution is presented. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
