In selective RNA processing and stabilization (SRPS) operons, the stoichiometry of encoded proteins is determined by their respective 3-end stem-loops (SLs), yet the evolution of this mechanism remains elusive. In cellulosomal operons of Clostridium spp., we show that the SLs and their associated genes form a monogamy companionship during the operon evolution. Based on {Delta}G of such SLs, we propose CoSLOE (Composite SL-based Operon Evolution) model with evolutionary ratio (ER) >1 or <1 for positive or negative selection of SRPS operons. In the composite SL-{Delta}G-based tree (CoSL-tree) of cellulosomal operons, when traversing from leafs to the root nodes, ERs reveal diversifying/positive selection towards a less efficient cellulosomal system, consistent with glycoside-hydrolase gene variation both in-operon and genome-wide. A similar pattern is followed by the ATPase operon and the majority of orthologous SRPS operons genome-wide, suggesting conservation among operons in such selection. Thus SRPS operons via their transcript-stabilizing non-coding elements are highlighting a link between operon stoichiometry and operon evolution.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
