Evaluation of sequence variation and selection in the bindin locus of the red sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus franciscanus.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Nov 2000

Debenham P, Brzezinski M A, Foltz K R

Abstract excerpt

Recent evidence suggests that gamete recognition proteins may be subjected to directed evolutionary pressure that enhances sequence variability. We evaluated whether diversity enhancing selection is operating on a marine invertebrate fertilization protein by examining the intraspecific DNA sequence variation of a 273-base pair region located at the 5' end of the sperm bindin locus in 134 adult red sea urchins...
