Evolution of bindin in the pantropical sea urchin Tripneustes: comparisons to bindin of other genera.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Feb 2003

Zigler K S, Lessios H A

Abstract excerpt

Bindin, a sea urchin sperm protein, mediates sperm-egg attachment and membrane fusion and is thus important in species recognition and speciation. Patterns of bindin variation differed among three genera that had been studied previously. In two genera of the superorder Camarodonta, Echinometra and Strongylocentrotus, both of which contain sympatric species, bindin is highly variable within and between species; a...
