Here, we introduce a measure of conservation of individual metabolite levels among related species. By analyzing multispecies tissue metabolome datasets in phylogenetically diverse mammals and fruit flies, we show that conservation varies extensively across metabolites. Three major functional properties, metabolite abundance, essentiality, and association with human diseases predict conservation, highlighting a striking parallel between the evolutionary forces driving metabolome and protein sequence conservation. Metabolic network simulations recapitulated these general patterns and revealed that abundant metabolites are highly conserved due to their strong coupling to key metabolic fluxes in the network. Finally, we show that biomarkers of metabolic diseases can be distinguished from other metabolites simply based on evolutionary conservation, without requiring any prior clinical knowledge. Overall, this study uncovers simple rules that govern metabolic evolution in animals and implies that most tissue metabolome differences between species are permitted, rather than favored by natural selection. More broadly, our work paves the way toward using evolutionary information to identify biomarkers, as well as to detect pathogenic metabolome alterations in individual patients.}, keywords = {PROTEIN; MODELS; Systems biology; RESOURCE; molecular evolution; Optimality; METABOLIC NETWORKS; Phylogenetic comparative method}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1091-6490}, orcid-numbers = {Boross, Gábor/0000-0002-7208-5678; Szappanos, Balázs/0000-0002-5075-1799} } @article{MTMT:34146082, title = {Fully accessible fitness landscape of oncogene-negative lung adenocarcinoma}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34146082}, author = {Yousefi, Maryam and Andrejka, Laura and Szamecz, Márton and Winslow, Monte M. and Petrov, Dmitri A. and Boross, Gábor}, doi = {10.1073/pnas.2303224120}, journal-iso = {P NATL ACAD SCI USA}, journal = {PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA}, volume = {120}, unique-id = {34146082}, issn = {0027-8424}, abstract = {Cancer genomes are almost invariably complex with genomic alterations cooperating during each step of carcinogenesis.

However, the cost of resistance can be mitigated by compensatory mutations elsewhere in the genome, and therefore the loss of resistance may proceed too slowly to be of practical importance. We present our study on the efficacy and phenotypic impact of compensatory evolution in Escherichia coli strains carrying multiple resistance mutations. We have demonstrated that drug-resistance frequently declines within 480 generations during exposure to an antibiotic-free environment. The extent of resistance loss was found to be generally antibiotic-specific, driven by mutations that reduce both resistance level and fitness costs of antibiotic-resistance mutations. We conclude that phenotypic reversion to the antibiotic-sensitive state can be mediated by the acquisition of additional mutations, while maintaining the original resistance mutations. Our study indicates that restricting antimicrobial usage could be a useful policy, but for certain antibiotics only.}, keywords = {EVOLUTION; Antibiotic resistance; E. coli; evolutionary biology; compensatory mutations}, year = {2019}, eissn = {2050-084X}, orcid-numbers = {Boross, Gábor/0000-0002-7208-5678; Szappanos, Balázs/0000-0002-5075-1799; Grézal, Gábor/0000-0003-1685-4791; Bodai, László/0000-0001-8411-626X} } @article{MTMT:30703953, title = {Limited evolutionary conservation of the phenotypic effects of antibiotic resistance mutations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30703953}, author = {Apjok, Gábor and Boross, Gábor and Nyerges, Ákos and Fekete, Gergely and Lázár, Viktória and Papp, Balázs and Pál, Csaba and Csörgő, Bálint}, doi = {10.1093/molbev/msz109}, journal-iso = {MOL BIOL EVOL}, journal = {MOLECULAR BIOLOGY AND EVOLUTION}, volume = {36}, unique-id = {30703953}, issn = {0737-4038}, year = {2019}, eissn = {1537-1719}, pages = {1601-1611}, orcid-numbers = {Boross, Gábor/0000-0002-7208-5678; Nyerges, Ákos/0000-0002-1581-490X; Csörgő, Bálint/0000-0003-0397-6845} } @article{MTMT:30420930, title = {Pathogen diversity drives the evolution of generalist MHC-II alleles in human populations}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/30420930}, author = {Manczinger, Máté and Boross, Gábor and Kemény, Lajos and Müller, Viktor and Lenz, Tobias L. and Papp, Balázs and Pál, Csaba}, doi = {10.1371/journal.pbio.3000131}, journal-iso = {PLOS BIOL}, journal = {PLOS BIOLOGY}, volume = {17}, unique-id = {30420930}, issn = {1544-9173}, abstract = {Whereas specialist major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules initiate immune response against only relatively few pathogens, generalists provide protection against a broad range.
