--- _id: '886' abstract: - lang: eng text: The factors that determine the tempo and mode of protein evolution continue to be a central question in molecular evolution. Traditionally, studies of protein evolution focused on the rates of amino acid substitutions. More recently, with the availability of sequence data and advanced experimental techniques, the focus of attention has shifted toward the study of evolutionary trajectories and the overall layout of protein fitness landscapes. In this review we describe the effect of epistasis on the topology of evolutionary pathways that are likely to be found in fitness landscapes and develop a simple theory to connect the number of maladapted genotypes to the topology of fitness landscapes with epistatic interactions. Finally, we review recent studies that have probed the extent of epistatic interactions and have begun to chart the fitness landscapes in protein sequence space. acknowledgement: 'This work has been supported by a grant from the HHMI International Early Career Scientist Program (#55007424), the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (grant #BFU2012-31329) as part of the EMBO YIP program, two grants from the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness, Centro de Excelencia Severo Ochoa 2013–2017 (#Sev-2012-0208) and BES-2013-064004 funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), the European Union, and the European Research Council under grant agreement no 335980_EinME.' author: - first_name: Dmitry full_name: Kondrashov, Dmitry A last_name: Kondrashov - first_name: Fyodor full_name: Fyodor Kondrashov id: 44FDEF62-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Kondrashov orcid: 0000-0001-8243-4694 citation: ama: Kondrashov D, Kondrashov F.
