Evolution of the PP2C family in Caenorhabditis: rapid divergence of the sex-determining protein FEM-2.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 2002

Stothard Paul, Hansen Dave, Pilgrim Dave

Abstract excerpt

To investigate the causes and functional significance of rapid sex-determining protein evolution we compared three Caenorhabditis elegans genes encoding members of the protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C) family with their orthologs from another Caenorhabditis species (strain CB5161). One of the genes encodes FEM-2, a sex-determining protein, while the others have no known sex-determining role. FEM-2's PP2C domain was...
