Title	Evolution of the reproductive interactome and the origins of postmating–prezygotic reproductive divergence
Description	Reproductive proteins evolve rapidly, which is predicted to cause postmating-prezygotic (PMPZ) reproductive isolation between divergent populations. While most previous studies have focused on protein sequence divergence as a likely driver of PMPZ incompatibilities, reproductive proteomes may also diverge compositionally and/or quantitatively. Here, we characterize extensive protein sequence, compositional, and quantitative divergence of male and female reproductive proteomes in two species exhibiting strong PMPZ isolation (D. mojavensis and D. arizonae). We further demonstrate that three divergent male seminal fluid proteins affect the size of the insemination reaction mass and/or fertilization success in D. arizonae. Using quantitative data and protein-protein interaction modeling of proteases and protease inhibitors, we predict the relative importance of protein sequence divergence, compositional changes, and quantitative divergence to the evolution of PMPZ incompatibilities between the species. We find that predicted interspecies protein incompatibilities arise from proteome compositional changes rather than protein sequence divergence, at least for the subset of the interactome that we tested. Furthermore, extensive quantitative divergence, particularly for proteases and inhibitors, suggests pervasive stoichiometric mismatches in heterospecific matings. Altogether, our findings provide novel insights into how the reproductive interactome diverges, and the consequences of this divergence for the evolution of PMPZ reproductive isolation.
