We think that extensive domain mosaicism is the result of the coevolutionary arms race between phages and their hosts. Receptor-binding proteins and endolysins are known to be specific and domain shuffling clearly plays an important role in their evolution. 6/7

We then used sequence information to find more cases of recently emerged domain mosaicism. We saw examples of domain swap and shuffling not only in receptor-binding proteins and endolysins, but also in replication proteins like ribonucleotide reductases or replication initiation proteins. 5/7
