Geographic variation and positive selection on M7 lysin, an acrosomal sperm protein in mussels (Mytilus spp.).

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Oct 2006

Riginos Cynthia, Wang Duane, Abrams A Jeanine

Abstract excerpt

Successful fertilization in free-spawning marine organisms depends on the interactions between genes expressed on the surfaces of eggs and sperm. Positive selection frequently characterizes the molecular evolution of such genes, raising the possibility that some common deterministic process drives the evolution of gamete recognition genes and may even be important for understanding the evolution of prezygotic...
