Evolution of coral pigments recreated.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 3 Sept 2004

Ugalde Juan A, Chang Belinda S W, Matz Mikhail V

Abstract excerpt

In proteins homologous to the green fluorescent protein (GFP), formation of red fluorescence requires three autocatalytic steps, whereas only two are needed for green fluorescence. Multiple red/green color diversification events in the GFP superfamily may reflect convergent evolution of the more complex three-step pathway. In the great star coral Montastraea cavernosa, a recreated common ancestor of green and red...
