Diversification and adaptive sequence evolution of Caenorhabditis lysozymes (Nematoda: Rhabditidae).

BMC evolutionary biology - 19 Apr 2008

Schulenburg Hinrich, Boehnisch Claudia

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Lysozymes are important model enzymes in biomedical research with a ubiquitous taxonomic distribution ranging from phages up to plants and animals. Their main function appears to be defence against pathogens, although some of them have also been implicated in digestion. Whereas most organisms have only few lysozyme genes, nematodes of the genus Caenorhabditis possess a surprisingly large repertoire of...
