Positive selection on an acrosomal sperm protein, M7 lysin, in three species of the mussel genus Mytilus.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Riginos Cynthia, McDonald John H

Abstract excerpt

Marine invertebrate sperm proteins are particularly interesting because they are characterized by positive selection and are likely to be involved in prezyogotic isolation and, thus, speciation. Here, we present the first survey of interspecific and intraspecific variation of a bivalve sperm protein among a group of species that regularly hybridize in nature. M7 lysin is found in sperm acrosomes of mussels and...
