Figure S1: Heat map of the matrix of Hamming similarity between unique proteins found from 47 of the most resistant alleles from each selection regimen following round 8. Red color indicates a higher similarity in amino acid mutations between two given sequences up to the full 287 amino acids of the protein, while blue indicates a greater number of differences in amino acid mutations. Figure S2: Comparison of the differences in sequences obtained using the different selection regimen. (A) Mean Hamming distance at the protein level between TEM-15 and unique protein sequences taken from 47 most resistant alleles resulting from each selection type after eight rounds of evolution. Negative selection resulted in alleles with greater average evolutionary distance from the starting point as compared with all other selection types (p<0.005 by Student’s T-test). (B) Diversity of proteins within each selection type as measured by Hamming distance. Oscillating selection results in the lowest diversity (p<0.005 each by Student’s T-test relative to all other selection strategies). Positive (TEM-15) Positive (TEM-1) Neutral Negative Oscillating Combined Figure S3: Structural mapping of mutations found in each selection scheme following round 8. The selection scheme demonstrating most frequent mutation rate at each site is depicted in the combined panel. Figure S4: Heat map of the frequency of mutations observed during the negative evolution regimen, as analyzed by deep sequencing. Each plot indicates all possible amino acid mutations (y-axis) found in a given round across position (x-axis) in the protein. Color indicates the frequency of that mutation from low (blue) to high (yellow). White indicates no observations of the indicated mutation. Rounds 1-3 were negative selections, while rounds 4-8 were positive selections in this selection regimen. Figure S5: Stacked frequency distribution of mutations found by deep sequencing at each step in the negative evolution regimen as a function of codon position over eight rounds. Figure S6: Stacked distribution of mutations found in the top 47 alleles from all selection strategies following round 8 as a function of codon position in β-lactamase. F230 E104 G238 Figure S7: Structural mapping of mutations found in the BS-NEG-4 allele, which confers a high resistance to cefotaxime. Mutation sites are shown in green and with stick models. The active site is shown in blue. E104 and G238 are noted in yellow stick models. Figure S8: Pathways between clusters found in SWAG analysis. (A) Heat map of the frequency of connections within and between clusters. (B) Heat map of the frequency of connections within and between clusters weighted by the selection strength of each connection.
