  bibo_abstract:
  - Most phenotypes are determined by molecular systems composed of specifically interacting
    molecules. However, unlike for individual components, little is known about the
    distributions of mutational effects of molecular systems as a whole. We ask how
    the distribution of mutational effects of a transcriptional regulatory system
    differs from the distributions of its components, by first independently, and
    then simultaneously, mutating a transcription factor and the associated promoter
    it represses. We find that the system distribution exhibits increased phenotypic
    variation compared to individual component distributions - an effect arising from
    intermolecular epistasis between the transcription factor and its DNA-binding
    site. In large part, this epistasis can be qualitatively attributed to the structure
    of the transcriptional regulatory system and could therefore be a common feature
    in prokaryotes. Counter-intuitively, intermolecular epistasis can alleviate the
    constraints of individual components, thereby increasing phenotypic variation
    that selection could act on and facilitating adaptive evolution. @eng
