Rapid evolution of the male-specific antibacterial protein andropin gene in Drosophila.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 May 2002

Date-Ito Atsuko, Kasahara Kumiko, Sawai Hiromi, Chigusa Sadao I

Abstract excerpt

Andropin, which encodes an antibacterial protein, is closely linked to the Cecropin gene cluster of D. melanogaster. Andropin and Cecropins are considered to have originated from one common ancestor. However, the expression pattern of Andropin is distinct from that of Cecropins, being restricted to the adult male ejaculatory duct. To elucidate the evolutionary process of Andropin, we have sequenced Andropin genes...
