250 million years of bindin evolution.

The Biological bulletin - 1 Aug 2003

Zigler Kirk S, Lessios H A

Abstract excerpt

Bindin plays a central role in sperm-egg attachment and fusion in sea urchins (echinoids). Previous studies determined the DNA sequence of bindin in two orders of the class Echinoidea, representing 10% of all echinoid species. We report sequences of mature bindin from five additional genera, representing four new orders, including the distantly related sand dollars, heart urchins, and pencil urchins. The six...
