Table 4. Analyses used to elucidate sites coevolving with site 122 in Vertebrate rhodopsins (rh1).

In bold are the results of interest described in the main text, including: elevated dN/dS, long-term shifts in selection between teleosts and tetrapods, amino acid statistical covariation with site 122 in the teleost dataset, and phylogenetically correlated amino acid variation with site 122.

From structural analysis of distances between amino acids and site 122 within the MII crystal structure 3PQR (Choe et al., 2011).

Post mean dN/dS from M8 analyses described in Tables 810.

Bayes empirical Bayes posterior probability of long-term shift in selection calculated in Clade model C (CmC) (Yang, 2007) analyses (CmC_Teleost vs Tetrapod/CmC_Characi clade) described in Tables 3 and 5, respectively.

§Phylogenetically corrected MI z-scores (MISTIC; [Simonetti et al., 2013]) of covariation with site 122 from analyses on Teleost RH1 dataset. Values were considered significant if greater than the top absolute z-score (21.6) from all site-wise comparisons from all analyses of 150 randomized datasets, as described (Ashenberg and Laub, 2013).

Tests of correlated evolution in amino acid variation (Pagel, 1994) between a given site and site 122. p-values were calculated by performing Monte Carlo tests using data from simulations (n > 1000) in MESQUITE (Maddison and Maddison, 2017). p-Values were subjected to a Bonferroni-correction to determine significance (p<0.002).
