Ancestral Genes Can Control the Ability of Horizontally Acquired Loci to Confer New Traits

Horizontally acquired genes typically function as autonomous units conferring new abilities when introduced into different species. However, we reasoned that proteins preexisting in an organism might constrain the functionality of a horizontally acquired gene product if it operates on an ancestral p...
