E. coli DHFR deep mutational scanning uncovers many advantageous mutations.

(A) Turbidostat schematic. Reoccurring dilutions with fresh medium keep the culture optical density (OD600) below 0.075. (B) The selection coefficient for each mutant is the slope of the linear regression of allele frequency over time. The wild-type (squares) value is normalized to zero. Advantageous (red) mutations increase and disadvantageous (blue) mutations decrease in frequency. (C) Selection coefficients from deep mutational scanning as a function of enzymatic velocity for purified DHFR point mutants measured in vitro. Velocities at 20 µM DHF were calculated from Michalis-Menten parameters. Error bars reflect the standard deviation from three biological replicates. (D) Histogram of selection coefficients. The wild-type value is indicated with a vertical black line. The median standard deviation over all mutations is the cut-off for WT-like behavior (Materials and methods, Figure 1—figure supplement 3, Figure 1—figure supplement 4) and is indicated with dashed lines. Mutation are colored as advantageous (red), disadvantageous (blue), WT-like (white), or null (grey). (E) Structural model of DHFR (PDB ID: 3QL3) with cross-section slices (a–e) indicated. The DHF substrate (green) and the NADPH cofactor (purple) are represented by spheres (yellow carbons and heteroatom coloring). An arrow indicates the perspective for each slice.

Conformations adopted during the DHFR catalytic cycle: 1RX1, 3QL3, 1RX4, and 1RX5) and a QMMM model of the hydride transfer step (Liu et al., 2013) represent the conformational states adopted by DHFR over the catalytic cycle.

The identity of each state is defined by the identity of the bound ligands (yellow spheres with heteroatom coloring) and the conformation of the M20 loop (outlined) that folds over the active site (closed or occluded). Upper models are in the closed state, and lower models are in the occluded state. All PDBs were downloaded from the PDB_REDO (Joosten et al., 2014).

Soluble WT DHFR cellular abundance for endogenous (chromosomal) DHFR in the parental strain and DHFR expressed from plasmids in the selection system.

DHFR cellular abundance is calculated from lysate activity (see Materials and methods). ER2566 is the parental strain (–Lon). SMT102, SMT201, SMT202, SMT205 denote plasmid constructs with altered promoters and ribosome binding sites (see Figure 1—source data 3) in the ER2566 ∆folA/∆thyA strain. DHFR abundances in ER2566 and ER2566 ∆folA/∆thyA –Lon lysates are colored in grey. DHFR abundances in ER2566 ∆folA/∆thyA +Lon lysates are colored in green. Error bars represent the cumulative percent error (standard deviation) from three independent experiments for velocity and three biological replicates for lysate activity.

Determination of selection coefficients for DHFR.

(A) Example turbidostat trace from a selection experiment on a library of DHFR single point mutants. The OD600 value inferred from the voltage across an IR emitter-receiver pair is plotted as a function of time. The ‘clamp’ OD value (0.075) is shown as a dashed red line. Decreases in OD correspond to dilution from automatic addition of M9 medium. (B) Comparison of selection coefficients from Figure 1C with growth rates measured in a plate reader for monocultures of the selection strain transformed with the library plasmid (SMT205, Figure 1—source data 3) encoding a single DHFR variant (identified by number, in-Figure caption). Error bars reflect the standard deviation over at least three biological replicates. (C) Comparison of all pairwise replicates for selection coefficients from triplicate deep mutational scanning on DHFR. The Pearson correlation R2 value from linear regression was 0.70. (D) Distribution of standard errors for individual selection coefficients from a single replicate. Selection coefficients are the slope from a linear regression of allele frequency as a function of time in selection. The standard error here is the mean square of residuals. (E) Distribution of standard deviations of selection coefficients for individual point mutants over replicate experiments. Each mutant had a measured selection coefficient in at least 2 of the three replicates. The median of this distribution of standard deviations over all alleles was 0.2 and was used to determine the cut-offs for advantageous and disadvantageous mutations in Figure 1D.

Comparison of DHFR per-position sequence preferences.

(A) Profile similarity (see Materials and methods) was calculated to compare the per-position distribution of amino acid frequencies between selection ±Lon (blue), between –Lon selection and an MSA of DHFR orthologues (grey), and between +Lon selection and the MSA. Each point represents a single position in DHFR. A profile similarity value of 1.0 indicates identical distributions at that position, and a value of 0 represents no overlap in the distributions. The box plot shows the median (orange line), the interval between the first and third quartiles (box), and the maximum and minimum (whiskers). (B) Scatterplot comparing the similarity of amino acid preferences in the MSA to selection ±Lon. Each dot represents a single position in the DHFR sequence. X-axis values represent the profile similarity score between the MSA and –Lon selection for amino acid preferences at each position. Y-axis values represent the profile similarity score between the MSA and +Lon selection for amino acid preferences at each position. The grey dashed lines represent y = x ±one standard deviation for |Similarity(–Lon vs. MSA)position – Similarity(+Lon vs. MSA)position|. Positions in the green region have amino acid preferences more similar to the MSA for +Lon selection, and positions in the grey region have amino acid preferences more similar to the MSA for –Lon selection.

Correlation between the ratio of cellular DHFR abundance (Figure 4D, Figure 4—source data 2, [DHFR]+Lon/[DHFR]–Lon) and in vivo ∆selection coefficients ±Lon for DHFR wild-type and point mutants. Points are colored by the mutation’s location within the hot spots from Figure 4 and Figure 4—figure supplement 1. X-axis error bars represent the cumulative percent error (standard deviation) from three measurements of DHFR concentration with and without Lon (Materials and methods). Y-axis error bars the cumulative error (standard deviation) from three biological replicates for selection with and without Lon (Materials and methods). The ratio of expression for WT is not 1.0 because there is an increase in WT DHFR expression in ER2566 ∆folA/∆thy +Lon relative to WT expression in ER2566 ∆folA/∆thy –Lon (see Figure 1—figure supplement 2, Figure 1—source data 1). The reason for the unusual behavior of L24V (positive ∆selection coefficient), a mutation in the active site, is unknown.

Selection coefficients for –Lon selection measured as described in Materials and methods are reported with the standard deviation between biological replicates and the standard error from linear regression (as calculated by Enrich2; Rubin et al., 2017).

Values are reported as calculated, but based on the selection calibration, differences between selection coefficients with values below ~–2.5 are not interpretable.
